Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Mushrooms, Spinach and Parmesan
1 medium spaghetti squash (about 2 pounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus additional for drizzling on squash
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
16 ounces sliced cremini, shitake and white button mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley, plus additional for serving as desired
3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
4 ounces freshly grated Parmesan, plus additional for serving as desired
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
Halve the spaghetti squash and remove the seeds. Lightly drizzle and rub the insides and outsides of the squash with olive oil, sprinkle the insides of each half with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, then place cut sides down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the squash until fork tender, about 25 minutes. Let rest for 10-15 minutes, until cool enough to handle, then shred in insides into strands with a fork. Set aside.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium high. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper, then sauté until fragrant, about 1 additional minute. Add the chopped spinach by handfuls, allowing it to wilt, then adding more as it will fit into your skillet. Cook just until all of the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
Add the shredded squash to the skillet, then cook just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as desired. Stir in the Parmesan and parsley. Serve warm, topped with additional parsley and Parmesan as desired.

Pour the remaining sauce on top the chicken before serving. Garnish with chopped scallions.

Make the pasta dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or on a work surface, combine both flours and make a well in the center. On medium speed, or using your fingers, mix in the egg yolks, oil and water, adding them one ingredient at a time and mixing just until the dough comes together, 2 to 3 minutes. If the dough seems dry, add another tablespoon of water.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and using the palms of your hands, knead the dough until it feels silky and smooth, about 8 to 10 minutes. The dough is ready when it gently pulls back into place when it is slightly stretched.
Shape the dough into a ball and then flatten the ball into a disk. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or chill in the fridge for up to 3 days. To roll out the dough, cut it into 4 equal pieces. Let the pieces sit, covered, at room temperature for 10 minutes if chilled.
Shape each piece into an oval wide enough to fit the width of your pasta roller. Lightly flour your work surface and set the pasta roller to its widest setting. Lightly flour 1 piece of dough, pass it through the roller and then lightly dust the rolled dough with flour, brushing off the excess with your hands. Pass the dough through the widest setting again. Lower the setting by 1 notch and continue to pass the dough through until you’ve reached the desired thickness. For tagliatelle, roll the dough to about ⅛-inch thick.
Fit the pasta machine with the appropriate cutter and run the pasta sheets through the cutter. Using floured hands, toss the pasta to keep from sticking. Cover the pasta and refrigerate it until ready to cook. Meanwhile, make the mushroom ragout: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the onions. Season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned and softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. If the pan looks dry, add another tablespoon of olive oil.
Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling salted water and cook it two thirds of the way through, 10 to 20 seconds. The pasta will finish cooking in the sauce. Drain the pasta, reserving ½ cup of the pasta cooking liquid.
Add the pasta, chicken stock, butter, ¼ cup Parmesan and half the parsley and rosemary to the mushroom ragout and cook, thinning with the reserved pasta cooking liquid as needed, until the pasta is coated with sauce and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Top with the remaining herbs and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
