Ingredients
1 3-4lb Spaghetti Squash, halved and seeded2 cups thinly sliced cherry tomatoes3/4 cup shredded fresh spinach1/3 cup feta cheese2 cloves garlic, minced2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil1 tbsp dried oregano1/2 tsp salt1/2 tsp ground black pepper1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1. Place the squash halves, open side down, in a 2-quart microwave-safe container. Add about 2/3 cup of water to the container.
2. Cover securely with plastic wrap. Use a sharp knife to cut four small steam vents in the plastic.
3. Microwave on high for 12-14 min (microwave times may vary, cook until squash is soft to touch). If your microwave doesn't naturally rotate the dish, then rotate it yourself halfway through. Let stand, covered, 3-5 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, combine all ingredients besides nuts into a large bowl.
5.While the squash is still warm, use a fork to scrape out the flesh; it will part into spaghetti-like strands.
6. Add squash to tomato mixture and toss gently to combine.
7. Garnish with pine nuts and enjoy!
I added some sliced chicken which I sauteed in some olive oil.
I made 5 very decent sized portions. Nutrition info is for 5 servings. However, you could easily divide it into 6 portions if you want it as a side dish.
Number of Servings: 5
