Ingredients

1 medium spaghetti squash (2-3 lbs or 1-1.5 kg)

1 cup of Alfredo sauce (240 ml)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender.
While the squash is roasting, steam the broccoli until just tender and set aside.
Cook the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink in the center. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
Once the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the steamed broccoli, cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, and half of the mozzarella. Stir until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and top with the remaining mozzarella. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
