Ingredients
  

1 medium spaghetti squash

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spaghetti Squash: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Drizzle the insides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until tender.

    Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Pour in the broth and almond milk, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.

      Thicken the Sauce: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens slightly.

        Combine Squash and Sauce: Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, use a fork to scrape the insides to create spaghetti-like strands. Add the strands into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce and toss until the squash is well-coated.

          Serve: Plate the Alfredo spaghetti squash and garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy your light and creamy dish!
