Directions
1Preheat oven to 200 °C (400 °F).
2Brush spaghetti squash halves with olive oil and season. Place halves cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 40 to 45 minutes.
3In the meantime, prepare sauce.
4In a large pot, heat butter. Sweat onion and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour and cook for 1 minute. Add milk, season and whisk until well combined. Bring to a boil. Cook until the mixture is thick and smooth.
5Remove from heat. Add half the cheese and mix well until cheese is fully melted.
6Add chicken and baby spinach. Stir gently.
7Remove squash from oven, flipping halves cut-side up. Let rest for 5 minutes (to avoid getting burned).
8Fill cooked squash halves with the chicken-spinach Alfredo sauce. Top with remaining cheese.
9Broil for 5 to 10 minutes or until golden.
10Remove from oven and serve.
11Irregularly shaped squash (such as acorn squash) is much easier to peel when cooked.
