Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

  2. Place squash skin side down on prepared baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, cool for 10 minutes. Once squash is cool enough to handle, scrape flesh into string-like strands with a fork. Place in a bowl and set aside.

  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, cook and stir until onion begins to turn translucent. Stir in kale and mushrooms, reduce heat to medium low.

  4. Stir in squash, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes, cook for 2 minutes. Remove from stove and place squash mixture in a large bowl.

  5. Stir olive oil and pesto into the squash mixture. Slowly add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until evenly mixed.

Recipe Note

When making this meal for the first time, I wanted to use items I would normally incorporate with pasta, such as pesto and mushrooms. Combining all of these things together creates a wonderful dish that most people would enjoy;I know I did! Serve with some garlic bread and mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
