Spaghetti Squash Mac and Cheese
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 large spaghetti squash 4 lbs
- 3 tbsp butter or coconut oil
- 3 tbsp whole wheat flour or spelt flour
- 2 cups whole milk or your choice of milk
- 3/4 tsp sea salt

- 1 cup hard cheese

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F degrees F and line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
- Wash squash, cut in half lengthwise, and remove seeds with a spoon. Punch randomly with a fork, place cut side down on the previously prepared baking sheet and bake for 40-50 minutes.
- Remove squash from the oven, let cool until it's safe to the touch and separate into strands with a fork. Cut into 2” strands using kitchen scissors. Set aside.
- In the meanwhile, preheat medium pot or dutch oven on low-medium heat and melt butter or oil. Whisk in flour until small lumps form.
- Add milk and keep whisking until smooth.
- Add salt, onion powder and pepper; whisk and let simmer for about 3-4 minutes or until sauce has slightly thickened.
- Add cheese and whisk again until smooth.
