Whether it is The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, or Bachelor in Paradise- I love to watch people drunkenly discuss being on a tv show to find love "for the right reasons."
My brain gets a break from studying and I usually get either a few belly laughs or get to see my skeleton running away from sheer embarrassment for the contestants. EEK!
One of the contestants this season is especially unique, outspoken, and cringe-worthy.
She has a "nanny" that makes her a very special Cheese Pasta. I was inspired to make one myself.
Cheese "Pasta"
1 large cooked spaghetti squash
Cheese sauce:
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
3-4 cups milk or broth
1/3 cup one-third fat cream cheese
5 slices of cheese, chopped up (I used Muenster)
pinch Cayenne pepper
salt & pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400.
Cut the spaghetti squash in half, length wise. Scoop out seeds and guts.
Place foil on a cookie sheet, place squash cut side down on top. Fold up foil edges slightly to contain the squash halves. Poke a few holes in the skin, and pour a little water under the squash bellies.
Bake for about 40 minutes. Flip them over and let cool. Scoop out the delish flesh.
To make the sauce, melt the butter in a sauce pan on medium heat. Add the flour and whisk together for 1-2 minutes until the raw flour taste cooks out. Add 3 cups of liquid slowly, whisking the whole time. Once the sauce has warmed through, add the cream cheese. Once the cream cheese is melted, add the Muenster. Stir until the cheese is incorporated and then add the Cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste.
Add the warm spaghetti squash into the cheese sauce and toss gently.
Serve warm with your favorite mac' n 'cheese toppings!
xoxo Sam
