Method
Preparation
Cook the Spaghetti Squash
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the inside with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Allow to cool slightly, then use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands.
Prepare the Mushrooms
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the maitake mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
Cooking the Sauce
Make the Cream Sauce
Add the heavy cream to the skillet with the mushrooms and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the cream is slightly thickened. Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
