Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place spaghetti squash in a baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender when pricked with a fork, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and set aside until almost completely cooled. Cut in half and remove seeds using a spoon. Shred squash meat using a fork and discard the peel.
- Combine shredded spaghetti squash and sweet potato in a bowl. Press cloves into peeled onion.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until a pinch of flour sprinkled into the butter will just begin to bubble. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting. Pour in warm milk, 2 tablespoons at a time, and keep stirring until sauce thickens. Add onion and bay leaf, cover, and simmer over low heat, stirring from time to time to prevent burning, for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
- Remove onion and bay leaf from bechamel sauce and and season sauce with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over spaghetti squash-sweet potato mixture and mix well. Transfer spaghetti squash mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too complicated for my taste. There were a lot of steps involved and it took a long time to make. I think I would have preferred a simpler recipe.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. The béchamel sauce was not very flavorful and the cheese did not add much flavor either. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some herbs or spices to the sauce.
Christina Price
[email protected]This dish was a little too rich for my taste. The béchamel sauce was very heavy and the cheese was a bit overpowering. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a lighter sauce, like a tomato sauce.
