Step 3
Take knife and from the top of the garlic, cut 1/4 inch. Season with a pinch of salt and drizzle with one teaspoon olive oil. Wrap in a double layer of foil and with the squash, place on the baking sheet.

Until squash shreds easily with a fork, roast in the preheated oven, about thirty mins.

Let garlic cool slightly, then into a small dish, squeeze the cloves. To mash the pulp into a smooth consistency, use a fork. Stir well after adding to the cheese sauce.
