  3. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat, and saute onion and garlic for several minutes, until the onion is soft.
  4. Add the asparagus and continue to saute until the asparagus has turned bright green and is soft but not limp.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper.
  6. When the spaghetti squash is ready and cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape out the strands. Do not turn off the oven and keep it at 400° F.

  8. Pour the milk & egg mixture into the pan.
  9. Add the asparagus, onion, and garlic on top of the egg mixture; making sure it sinks in.
