post #47 - Lemon Spinach Spaghetti Squash

22 October 2013

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!
