Ingredients
-
1 Large Spaghetti Squash
2 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 15 oz can H-E-B Mexican Style Diced Tomatoes
1/4 c Fat Free Fancy Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp each salt & pepper
1 Garlic clove, minced
Tips
I had to double the cheese and tomatoes. You can add precooked bacon for added flavor.
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees on convection setting
2) Poke holes into the spaghetti squash and place inside a damp paper towel then microwave for 7-10 minutes.
3) After microwaving, using a large knife or cleaver, slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise down the middle.
4) Use a spoon to remove the seeds and center strings
5) Drizzle the 2 halves with olive oil and then sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic.
6) Place the squash, open side down on a baking sheet with 1/2 c of water in the bottom.
7) Bake for 45 minutes.
8) Remove from the oven, check to see if the squash is soft in the center and easily comes up with a fork into a spaghetti like texture. If it's too hard to remove, cook for another 10 minutes.
9) Remove from the oven, scrape and fluff the stringy squash with a fork.
10) Leave the squash in the skin.
11) Turn the oven up to broil
12) Add the tomatoes, stir and add the mozzarella cheese.
13) Place in the broiler for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
14) Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving the squash.
Enjoy!
