Ingredients

2 spaghetti squash small, cut in half, seeds removed, cooked
22 ounces Prego® Homestyle Alfredo
1 1/2 cups Shredded Chicken
2 cups Broccoli Florets steamed
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
1/4 cup Parsley chopped fine
1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded

Instructions

Halve your spaghetti squash, and scrape out the seeds.
Cook the spaghetti squash in your preferred way. Set on a baking tray or in a baking dish, cut-side up, and set aside.
Preheat oven to broil on high (550 degrees F).
In a large bowl, mix together the Prego Homestyle Alfredo, shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, shredded Parmesan, and half the parsley. (Note: we need another step describing what to do with the other half of the parsley)
Divide the mixture between the 4 halves of spaghetti squash, filling the cavity.
Top with mozzarella cheese.
Place baking dish/tray into the preheated oven and broil on high until filling is bubbling and cheese is melted and golden brown, 6-7 minutes. Then garnish with remaining half of parsley.

Notes

*Cooking Spaghetti Squash: Cut your spaghetti squash in half and scrape out the seeds. Then cook. You have many options for this, but the fastest and easiest way is in a pressure cooker. Simply add a cup of water to the bottom of the pressure cooker, then place the trivet inside. Put the spaghetti squash face-down on the trivet and lock lid into place. Cook at high pressure for 7 minutes. Do a quick release of pressure, then remove from cooker!

**Bake vs Broil: You can bake, instead of broil, the spaghetti squash and stuffing for 20-30 minutes to heat the filling up, and then switch to broil to melt the cheese. But if you want to speed it up, broil for 6-8 minutes, and pay attention so you don’t burn the top. You can also cover with foil for a few minutes, to heat the filling and not burn the topping cheese.
