Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, heavy cream, and crumbled bouillon cube. Add chives and thyme and mix thoroughly.
  4. Layer grated cheeses inside each hollow spaghetti squash half, then pour the creamy garlic mixture over the cheese.
  5. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and separates into strands. Optionally microwave for 8 minutes before baking.
  6. Let it cool for a few minutes, then fluff the strands with a fork and serve warm, garnished with extra chives.
