Ingredients
1 small spaghetti squash (2 1/2 Cups, cooked)1/2 C Tomato, chopped1 Tbsp Green onion, finely chopped1/2 C 2% Mexican Blend Cheese1/2 Tbsp Canola Harvest Margarine (or your own favorite)Minced garlic, to taste (I like about 1/2 tsp)Salt & Pepper, to taste (salt is always optional!)
Directions
1. Slice squash in half lengthwise, screap out seeds and bake in shallow baking dish with 1/4 inch water, cut side down. About 45 mins @ 350F or until skin is tender when pierced with a fork. Cool then removed strands of squash with two forks adding margarine. Sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper.

1b. An alternative way to bake the squash is to cut as above but place cut side UP in the baking dish with water. Dab the margarine over the edges and inside the cleaned out squash, then sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper & bake. This gives the squash a more "crusty" baked texture & taste which is actually quite nice.

2. While squash is cooking, mix remaining ingredients except cheese, and sauté lightly.

3. Lay mixture on top of warm squash, add cheese just prior to serving.

This recipe makes 2 servings, approx 1 1/2 Cups each.
