Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded

  • ¼ cup butter

  • 1 shallot, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ (14.5 ounce) can pumpkin puree

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon white truffle oil

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

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

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

  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.

  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.
