Ingredients

Serves 4

  3. Leave to cool, then spoon out all the squash flesh, put in a bowl and set aside.
  4. In the meantime, heat the olive oil in a pot and sauté the onion until translucent.
  5. Add the chicken, then the garlic and the mushrooms.
  6. Cook for 3 minutes.
  7. Add the cream, the sage, the porcini salt and pepper to taste, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
  8. Just before serving, place the spaghetti squash in the middle of a plate, in the shape of a nest, and fill the center with a ladle of creamy chicken.
