  2. SAUTÉ. In a pan, heat oil. Saute garlic until fragrant. Add the malunggay leaves, all-purpose cream, parmesan, and AJI-NO-MOTO®. Mix well. Set aside.
  3. BAKE. In a baking dish, add spaghetti squash then top with creamy malunggay sauce and mozzarella. Bake in a preheated oven and bake for 5-10 minutes or until cheese has melted and lightly brown.
  4. SERVE. Transfer to a serving plate. Serve and enjoy while hot.
