Cooking Authentically this Holiday Season
The holidays are upon us and it is time to start thinking about a dish to bring to Thanksgiving dinner. My husband’s family always hosts Thanksgiving. Either we go upstate to meet up with his huge extended family or we stay here with our immediate family. Either way, I am in charge of a side dish. This Double Cheese Baked Spaghetti Squash is a perfect vegetable side dish to complement the main dish!
The secret ingredient is the use of, not one but two Stella Cheeses!
I love using Stella Fontina Cheese in my recipes because of how easy and creamy the fontina melts into the dish. It is a perfect ingredient in this baked spaghetti squash, giving it a creamy texture. Asiago cheese is one of my favorite cheeses to use in pasta recipes. While we are replacing the pasta with squash this time around, it gives the dish an authentic nutty flavor that tastes great!
Are you a squash lover like me? Check out this roasted butternut squash recipe. It is another delicious way to get your family to eat their veggies!
