Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• cooking spray
• 1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
• 1 shallot, chopped
• ½ (14.5 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon white truffle oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place the squash halves cut-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until the squash skin is easily pierced with a fork, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Once the squash is cool enough to handle, shred squash flesh from rind using a fork; set aside in a large bowl.

Step 4

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the shallot and garlic in the hot butter until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, and Parmesan cheese with the shallot and garlic until well combined; cook until hot. Remove from heat and scrape the sauce into the bowl with the squash. Drizzle with the truffle oil; season with salt and pepper.
