For a richer flavor, consider using a blend of Gruyere and Parmesan cheese. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. To save time, roast the spaghetti squash instead of microwaving it. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), drizzle the squash halves with olive oil, and roast cut-side up for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and reheated. Simply bake as directed, let cool, and cover tightly. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warmed through.
