Ingredients

    1 medium raw spaghetti squash, (about 2 1/2 lb)

    1 small onion(s), chopped
    1 tsp garlic clove(s), minced
    14 1/2 oz canned stewed tomatoes, cut up

    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
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.
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.
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.

    Sound svery good - i love spaghetti squash! I do South Beach diet so wehn i'm really wanting some pasta and more than the 1/2 cup you can have on the beach I go for this since it is basically unlimited and I can have a huge bowl and really feel satisfied. It is also good with sauteed veggies. - 1/23/09
