# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400F.
02 -
Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds by scraping the inside with a spoon. Drizzle the inside of each half with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
03 -
Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast until tender when pierced with a knife, approximately 30-40 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly to handle.
04 -
Season steak with salt and pepper. Cook in a large skillet over medium heat to just shy of preferred doneness. It will cook slightly more in the oven.
05 -
In a medium saucepot, heat butter and heavy cream over medium heat. Once butter melts, add nutmeg and stir. Remove from heat and add Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
06 -
Using a fork, fluff up the interior of each squash half to create 'noodles.'
07 -
Add sliced steak, spinach, sundried tomatoes, gorgonzola crumbles, and 1/2 cup sauce to each squash half. Stir to combine. Adjust ingredients as desired.
08 -
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of each squash half. Bake for approximately 15 minutes until cheese is melted. Broil briefly for browned cheese if desired (ensure no flammable materials are used).
09 -
Drizzle with additional sauce and serve immediately.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
You can use leftover steak, approximately 3/4 pound cooked.
02 -
The Alfredo sauce is best when made fresh.
