My spaghetti squash casserole features 'noodles' baked in an irresistibly cheesy cream sauce with tender chicken until hot and bubbly. It's such a cozy weeknight dinner. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen!
Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy bits from the center.
Brush the cut sides of the spaghetti squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until the squash is tender.
Once cooked, use a fork to scrape the flesh of the squash into spaghetti-like strands. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onions and minced garlic, and sauté until they become fragrant. Add the shredded chicken breasts and cook until they are heated through. Stir in the Blue Cheese dressing, cream cheese, and shredded mozzarella until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
In a large casserole dish, combine the cooked spaghetti squash strands and the creamy sauce mixture. Mix everything together until well combined. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until bubbling and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped basil on top.
