Ok...it was Cauliflower "Mock Mac-n-Cheese"...not spaghetti Squash...oh well..here it is anyway Kosher salt, as needed, plus 1/2 teaspoon 1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets Vegetable oil spray 1 cup heavy cream 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar, plus 1/2 cup for topping the casserole 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder Equipment: 8 by 8-inch baking dish Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bring a large pot of Water to a boil. Season the water with salt. Spray the baking dish with vegetable oil spray. Cook the cauliflower in the boiling water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well and pat between several layers of paper towels to dry. Transfer the cauliflower to the baking dish and set aside. Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan, and whisk in the cream cheese and mustard until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese, salt, pepper and garlic and whisk just until the cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, pour over the cauliflower, and stir to combine. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and bake until browned and bubbly hot, about 15 minutes. Serve.

Tiffany, oddly enough I just ran across a recipe for mock mac-n-cheese using spaghetti squash. The comment was that it looked gross but tasted great! I think I found it on SparkPeople recipes......I'll see if I can find it in my files and post it. I love using the spaghetti squash and even make baked spaghetti with it...it's a wonderful vegetable and very underused! Tracy
