- Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and cut the asparagus spears into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat, and saute onion and garlic for several minutes, until the onion is soft.
- Add the asparagus and continue to saute until the asparagus has turned bright green and is soft but not limp.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper.
- 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.
- In a oil sprayed pie pan, scoop the loose strands from the spaghetti squash and push them against the sides of the pie pan to form an even "crust" throughout the pan.
- Pour the milk & egg mixture into the pan.
- Add the asparagus, onion, and garlic on top of the egg mixture; making sure it sinks in.
- Bake for 40 minutes until quiche is firm.
