A few weeks ago I was craving some chicken alfredo but didn't want to eat all the pasta that normally entails. So, I whipped up this SUPER easy recipe that uses spaghetti squash and it was AMAZING. I try to avoid recipes that have a lot of dairy in it like this but every once in a while I'm ok with it.
I cook my spaghetti squash in the microwave to cut down on cook time. Just pierce it all over with a knife and cook in the microwave for 10-12 minutes. Then cut it open and scrape out the squash. Also, if you cook up a bunch of chicken on meal prep day when you go to make this meal, it makes it even easier to whip up!
Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!!!
