Main Ingredients
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash Choose a ripe squash, heavier feels better.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Separate in baking and sautéing.
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup spinach Can be swapped for kale.
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Can replace with mozzarella for a cheesier dish.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced Toasting garlic improves flavor.

Preparation

Baking
  1. Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for about 30-40 minutes or until fork-tender.
Sautéing
  1. While the squash is baking, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, add garlic and sauté for a minute.
  2. Add cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
Combining
  1. Once the squash is done, use a fork to scrape the insides to create 'spaghetti'.
  2. Toss the spaghetti squash with the sautéed vegetables and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
