Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
  2. Carefully slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush with olive oil and roast cut-side down for 35-40 minutes.
  3. While the squash is roasting, sauté diced onion in olive oil for 5 minutes, then add minced garlic for another minute.
  4. Shred the roasted spaghetti squash using a fork into noodle-like strands until you have about 4 cups.
  5. Combine shredded squash with sautéed onions and garlic, Greek yogurt, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and optional spices.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish, top with remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.
  7. Cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure the spaghetti squash is ripe yet firm for the best texture in the gratin. To avoid a watery dish, properly drain any frozen squash used.
