Servings: persons

1 medium spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Place squash, cut-sides down, on a rimmed baking sheet and add water to surround squash.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 60 minutes.
4
Gently scrape squash strands into the center of each half using a fork.
5
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic to hot butter and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook for another minute while stirring until no lumps remain, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add cream cheese and stir until smooth, about 1 more minute. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
6
Spoon hot sauce equally on to each squash half. Gently pull up the squash strands to coat as much as possible with sauce. Top with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
7
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Place squash halves under the broiler until golden and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
