Broccoli Cheddar Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large spaghetti squash
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Poke a few holes in rind of spaghetti squash with a fork; cut squash in half lengthwise; scoop out seeds.
  • Drizzle inside of squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place cut side down on baking sheet and roast until fork tender, 45 – 60 minutes.
  • While squash bakes, steam the broccoli until bright green and just fork tender; drain and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter; whisk in flour and cook 1 minute; gradually whisk in milk and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
  • Working in batches, whisk in cheddar cheese until melted; set aside.
  • When spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, scrape flesh out with a fork into strands.
  • Using a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
  • Place in a large bowl and use a fork to fluff strands.
  • Add broccoli and cheese sauce and stir to combine.
  • Transfer to an 8 x 8-inch baking dish.
  • Top with bread crumbs and spray lightly with cooking oil.
  • Reduce oven to 375°F and bake until bubbly and bread crumbs are golden brown, about 30 minutes.
