Low-Carb Primavera Delight

By Peggie

Ingredients

• 1 spaghetti squash
• 2 cups chopped fresh broccoli
• 1 small onion diced
• 2 diced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Spaghetti squash is a great substitute for pasta. To prepare it, cut it in half (lengthwise). Scoop out the seeds and pulp as you would with any squash or pumpkin. Place it in a glass baking dish with about ½ inch of water, rind side up. Bake 40 to 45 minutes at 375 degrees. You can also microwave the squash for 8 to 10 minutes per half on high. Let the squash stand for a few minutes after baking or microwaving. Separate strands by running a fork through in the “from stem to stern” direction. Place strands in a separate bowl.
In a medium frying pan, sauté broccoli, onion, garlic and oil until vegetables are crisp tender. Add squash and heat thoroughly. Serve on plates topped with heated marinara sauce. Makes 4 servings.
