Veggie Spaghetti Squash




My sister Kat was in town a couple of weeks ago for another Ironman event and she had sent me this recipe.  I bought the spaghetti squash with good intentions to use it that weekend, but alas, life happened and the spaghetti squash plans didn't.  I was cleaning out my pantry this morning and found the surviving spaghetti squash hiding in there, and decided to go all out and treat myself to a lunch that actually took a little bit of work.  I am glad that I did because it was delicious, I am still full, and I have had a ton of veggies!  Which is extra good because today is Halloween, and I am sure there will be some candy consumption tonight.  Total aside, but because I don't want to forget, my kids are being ANGELS right now- they cleaned out Christopher's closet (the room is a mess) but they brought every single pillow from the house in there and they are curled up together watching YouTube Minecraft videos.  LOL  Anyway, here's the recipe.

Veggie Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti Squash, cooked and shredded
olive oil
garlic
onion
tomatoes, fresh preferred but sundried/jarred could work?
feta cheese
basil, fresh and chopped

Options- pick any or all, whatever you have and/or like:
spinach, fresh and chopped (if you have it)
broccoli, roasted or steamed
asparagus, roasted/steamed and chopped
olives, if you are so inclined... I am not

Saute the onion and garlic in some olive oil.  Add the tomatoes and give it a minute or two... then toss in the cooked (and warm) spaghetti squash.  Add whatever other veggies you want, then the feta and basil.  Toss to combine and serve!  Yum!

I only used about 1/4 of the cooked squash, and I eye balled the ingredients... but it worked really well and I am still very satisfied. :-) Enjoy!  And thank you, Kat!
