Light and Delicious Spaghetti Squash

By lkalemba

Ingredients

• 2 2 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 6 6 6 clove minced garlic
• 1 1 1 large tomato
• 4 4 4 c baby spinach
• 2 2 2 c spaghetti squash
• 2 2 2 dash(es) salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. To cook spaghetti squash quickly, make several holes in the squash using a fork, then pop it in the microwave for about 10-12 minutes (about 4-5 minutes a pound). Allow to cool for several minutes.

2. Remove from microwave and cut open lengthwise.

3. Using a fork, scrap out contents (it will be stringy) into a bowl and set aside.

4. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until just turning brown.

5. Add the tomato. Sprinkle with a bit of salt.

6. Top with the spinach leaves and cover for about 2 minutes. The spinach will cook and reduce down.

7. Uncover. Break up the spinach with a wooden spoon. It will start to clump together once cooked.

8. Add the spaghetti squash a little at a time and stir in. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

9. Add parsley as a nice garnish and serve!
