A classic Italian-inspired recipe with one delicious and waistline-friendly change: spaghetti squash instead of pasta!

Ingredients

Uncooked spaghetti squash

1 large

Olive oil

1 tsp

Uncooked onion(s)

1 small

Garlic

1 tsp

Canned stewed tomatoes

14.5 oz

Italian seasoning

1 tsp

Grated Parmesan cheese

0.25 cup(s)

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

2

Halve squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Place squash, cut sides down, in a large baking dish and prick skin all over with a fork. Bake until tender, 30 to 40 minutes.

3

Meanwhile, to make the sauce, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and Italian seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring often, 5 minutes or until desired consistency.

4

To serve, carefully rake the stringy squash pulp from the skin with a fork, separating it into strands that look like spaghetti. Spoon sauce over squash and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Yields about 1 1/2 cups of squash, 1/4 cup of sauce and 1 tablespoon of cheese per serving.
