Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Poke the squash all around with a fork, then microwave it in 5-minute increments, rotating in between, until the outside is soft and yields a little when pressed with your fingers, about 15 minutes total. Be careful when rotating and removing the squash, as it will become very hot.
- Meanwhile, combine the cream, butter, garlic, thyme, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large saucepan. Peel the potatoes, then slice them paper thin on a mandoline, placing them in the cream mixture as you slice. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then remove from the heat.
- When the squash is cool enough to handle, slice it in half, scoop out the seeds, then scrape out the flesh with a fork into a medium bowl. Discard the skin and seeds.
- Layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 1/2 the potatoes. Top with 1/2 the squash, then the remaining potatoes, then the remaining squash. Pour all the liquid from the potato mixture into the baking dish, and press the vegetables down to submerge. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan on top. Put the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until golden brown and a knife slides easily into the potatoes, about 1 hour. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH GRATIN WITH BASIL
Recently on the Recipes for Health page on Facebook, I asked readers what they were finding in their weekly delivered produce boxes. Requests for spaghetti squash recipes came pouring in. I was working on basil dishes already, so I decided to combine the two ingredients in this gratin.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Pierce the squash in several places with a sharp knife. Cover a baking sheet with foil, and place the squash on top. Bake for one hour, turning the squash every 20 minutes until it is soft and easy to cut into with a knife. Remove from the heat, and allow the squash to cool until you can handle it. Cut in half lengthwise, and allow to cool further. Remove the seeds and discard. Scoop out the flesh, and place in a bowl. Run a fork through the flesh to separate the spaghetti-like strands, then chop coarsely. Measure out 4 cups squash. (Use whatever remains for another dish, or freeze.)
- Oil a 2-quart gratin or baking dish. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant. Add the squash. Cook, stirring often, for five minutes until the strands of squash are a little more tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the milk, salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper and basil. Stir in the squash mixture and the Gruyère, and combine well. Scrape into the baking dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan or pecorino over the top, and gently press down to moisten.
- Bake 40 to 45 minutes until nicely browned and sizzling. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose the right spaghetti squash: Look for squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep yellow color. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
- Cook the spaghetti squash properly: You can cook spaghetti squash in the oven, microwave, or Instant Pot. Make sure to cook it until it is tender but still holds its shape.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your spaghetti squash au gratin will taste. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, and high-quality butter.
- Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce for spaghetti squash au gratin should be thick and creamy, but not too thick. Simmer it for just a few minutes until it has thickened slightly.
- Serve immediately: Spaghetti squash au gratin is best served immediately after it is made. The squash will start to lose its texture if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti squash au gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti squash, and it can also be made with other winter squashes, such as butternut squash or acorn squash.
