Happy, happy Hump Day!
I got some questions about the spaghetti squash I posted on Friday, so I figured I'd share the recipe with you. We have started making this almost every week - it's delicious and healthy! And, RIDICULOUSLY easy.
Ingredients:
1 spaghetti squash
1 bag of spinach
1 lemon
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
Instructions:
1. Place spaghetti squash on a plate. Use a medium sized knife to punch around 10 holes in the squash. Microwave for 9 minutes (give or take, depending on the size of your squash).
2. While squash is in the microwave, heat oil and garlic over low-medium heat (I use 3-4). Zest and juice the lemon and add both to the oil mixture.
3. When about 5 minutes remain for the squash, add spinach to stove and saute. I generally cook this at a 5.
4. Remove pan from heat.
5. Slice spaghetti squash in half (long ways) and scrape out the seeds from the middle section.
6. Once seeds are removed, use a fork to scrape squash out of the shell. It should come out in strings.
7. Combine spinach/liquid in the pan with the spaghetti squash.
8. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThis looks so healthy and good. I'm so scared of making spaghetti squash...I've had two on my counter and I've ended up throwing both away after MONTHS of not cooking them. What is wrong with me? This recipe looks very do-able. I think I might actually give it a try. :) Stopping by from the blog boost.
