  • 1 medium spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
  • 5 oz freshly chopped spinach
  • 3/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
  • Black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Rub squash with a little bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, until fork tender.

2. Let cool about 10 minutes, then scrape the insides with a fork to pull the strands away from the skin.
