-
1 spaghetti squash
3 tbsp fat free cream cheese
1 cup fat free milk
2-3 tbps garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 yellow onion
1 medium tomato
Directions
Can be a main course for 2 or a side dish for 4.
Split and remove seeds from spaghetti squash. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave 7-10 minutes (check with a fork periodically to see if it's soft). When squash is done it will have to be refrigerated for at least an hour.
Chop onion and drop into saucepan over medium heat. Sautee just long enough to soften onion slightly. Add milk and cream cheese. Stir constantly until cream cheese is melted, reduce heat. Add garlic and chili powder.
Remove COLD squash from shell with a fork to maintain "spaghetti-like" strings. Place in a medium bowl. Pour cream sauce over bowl of squash. Dice tomato into bite sized chunks and drop into bowl. Toss.
