Cheesy Chipotle Spaghetti Squash is a healthy recipe loaded with a creamy chipotle sauce for a meatless meal loaded with flavor or side dish that pairs great with a pork loin or chicken.

I am pretty much obsessed with chipotles in adobo sauce. Ok, I’m not as obsessed with them as my sister who will literally put them in just about anything. She made my mom’s chilli recipe and loaded it up with chipotles. When I went to taste it, all I could taste was chipotle!

These bad boys go a long way, so no need to use a heavy hand with them. They pack a punch with not only flavor but plenty of heat. If you are using them and some of your family members are a bit adverse to spice, feel free to cut the amount in half.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 spaghettii squash
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 tsp. flour

    I have a new found love for spaghetti squash! Can’t wait to try this but it might be a little lighter on the peppers 🙂
