This recipe is quick to prepare and a great alternative for a lower-carbohydrate, lower-calorie option in place of a potato side dish. My husband is a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy and even he loved this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash , halved and seeded
  • 3 tablespoons light margarine
  • 1 small yellow onion , thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.75 cups fat-free sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded light Cheddar cheese
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place spaghetti squash in a covered dish and add 1/4 inch of water. Microwave for 10 to 12 minutes. Scrape insides of squash with a fork and transfer to a small bowl.

  2. 2

    Heat margarine in a medium skillet over medium heat while spaghetti squash is cooking and cook onion, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the onion is browned, 5 to 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

  4. 4

    Mix spaghetti squash, onion mixture, sour cream, and 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese together. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and top with remaining Cheddar cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Turn on broiler for the last 2 to 3 minutes and broil until gratin is golden brown on top.
