Sea Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F.

STEP 7: Heat up a pan and add a spoonful of pistou.

STEP 8: Scoop out the spaghetti squash and add to the pan. Put the empty skins aside for later.

STEP 9: Mix together the spaghetti squash and pistou well ensuring it is all coated. Add more olive oil and pistou as necessary along with Parmesan.

STEP 10: Scoop the spaghetti squash back into the skins.

STEP 11: Add cheddar cheese on top and if you're like me add some in the middle too.

STEP 12: Turn the oven to broil and cook the spaghetti squash until the cheese is golden.

STEP 13: Garnish with parsley and more Parmesan.

STEP 14: Eat and enjoy!
