Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 spaghetti squash
1/3 c butter
3 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c diced onions
1/2 c half and half
8 oz diced ham
2 c frozen peas
1/2 c shredded italian cheeses (or can substitute parmagiano)
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c shredded cheese to top the dish

Steps:

1. Prep: Bake squash at 375 for an hour and let cool. Once cool slice in half and clean out the seeds. With a fork remove the "spaghetti" and place in a bowl to use later. And save the squash shells, too.
2. In a pan melt the butter and lightly brown the garlic (about a minute or two), then add the onion and cook until translucent. Stir in the half and half until heated through and add the diced ham, until heated, then stir in the frozen peas 1/2 cup at a time. When heated through (about 3-5 minutes) add in the shredded cheeses (or parmigiano as an alternative)and salt and pepper to taste. Now mix the ham and peas into the squash "noodles" and put back into the squash shells. Top with more cheese (about a small handful) and microwave for 2-3 minutes or until additional cheese is melted.
