Ingredients
1 medium spaghetti squash, halved and seeds removed
1 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 1/4 cups pesto
1 1/2 cups chopped marinated artichokes
8 oz burrata ball
1 cup shredded mozzarella
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line or grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Drizzle spaghetti squash halves with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast 35–40 minutes until tender.
- Let squash cool slightly, then scrape into strands. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel.
- In a bowl, mix squash strands with Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Divide mixture into muffin tin cups, pressing firmly to form nests. Bake 10 minutes to set.
- Spoon pesto into each nest, then top with artichokes, burrata pieces, and mozzarella.
- Bake 12–15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Swap artichokes for sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers.
Ricotta or goat cheese can replace burrata.
Experiment with different pestos like arugula or sun-dried tomato pesto.
Add olives or capers for a briny kick.
Use parchment or silicone liners to prevent sticking.
