How to Make One-Bite Spaghetti Squash Cups
Since this recipe only uses half of the cooked spaghetti squash, use the other half for another tasty recipe. An easy idea is to scrape out the squash and sauté it with a little pesto sauce. This makes for a two-ingredient side dish that’s packed with flavor!

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Fill a soup pot with 1 inch water; place squash in water. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and cook 25 to 30 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife. Remove squash to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly. Cut squash in half, lengthwise. Remove and discard seeds with a spoon. With a fork, scrape the inside of one half, shredding it into noodle-like strands. Place shredded squash in a large bowl. Reserve remaining half for later use.
-
Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium-low heat, heat oil until hot. Cook onion and garlic 3 to 4 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally; add to squash.
-
Add cream cheese to squash mixture and mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in egg, poultry seasoning, and pepper.
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat 1 (24-cup) mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Spoon equal amounts of squash mixture into each muffin cup and lightly press 2 to 3 dried cranberries on top of each. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool slightly, then remove from muffin tin and serve.
