Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin

Serves 6. 

1 medium spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion, cut in half and very thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Cut the squash in half and remove the seeds. Place in a covered dish with a 1/4 inch of water and microwave for 10-12 minutes, until tender and the flesh easily separates into strands. Let cool.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a medium sized skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add onions and thyme and cook until onions are tender and slightly brown.

Using a fork, scrape the insides of the squash and transfer to a medium sized bowl. Add in the onion mixture, sour cream, and half of the cheese. Mix well and transfer to a buttered baking dish and top with remaining cheese.

Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top. Serve warm.
