Stuffed spaghetti squash is a great healthy comfort food and so easy to make too! A versatile and healthy dish perfect for a cold day.
One of my favourite recipes is a creamy spinach and artichoke dip and I thought I would incorporate it with a baked spaghetti squash. It makes a delicious filling and goes so well with the sweetness of the squash.

This is a very filling dish and could happily be shared by 4 people. Or two very, very hungry people. I’ve found that I eat half of a shell, then devour the remaining half the next day. It’s a “return later” dish. You could serve this as a side dish to share too.
Did you know that technically spaghetti squash is a fruit? Botanically, a fruit bears seeds and develops from a flower. Live and learn!
I love the simplicity of this stuffed squash and you could prepare this ahead of serving too. Just bake it when you are ready to eat! Perhaps add a few ingredients to this filling too. Maybe chopped bacon or shredded chicken to the spinach artichoke filling.
Simply slice, bake, stuff and bake again! It doesn’t get easier than this!
