TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2
Spread the ready-to-cook spaghetti squash on a baking tray and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
3
Season with the kosher salt and ground black pepper then roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
4
Allow the spaghetti squash to cool for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
5
While the squash is cooling, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the pancetta. Cook until crisp, about 7-9 minutes.
6
Add remaining olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to the skillet. Allow to cook until the garlic becomes aromatic - about 1 minute.
7
Pour the fresh lemon juice into the skillet and mix well, ensuring all the flavor from the pancetta and spices is lifted from the bottom of the pan.
8
Add cooked spaghetti squash to the skillet, tossing well to combine with the pancetta and spice mixture.
9
Stir in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, followed by the baby arugula. Toss the whole mixture until the arugula just begins to wilt, about 1 minute.
10
Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top.
