Equipment

  • cookie sheet
  • 8x8 pan or a pyrex dish
  • saute pan

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Prepared spaghetti squash
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Diced tomatoes fresh or canned
  • ½ cup Diced zucchini
  • ¾ cup Crumbled reduced fat feta cheese
  • 1 tsp Basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Preparing Squash

  • Place spaghetti squash cut sides down on the prepared baking sheet, and bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a sharp knife can be inserted with only a little resistance.
  • Remove squash from oven, and set aside to cool enough to be easily handled.
  • Once the spaghetti squash is cooled, use a large spoon to scoop the stringy pulp from the squash and set aside 3 cups. Save the rest for later.

When squash is cooled

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic in oil until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and zucchini and cook only until warm.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper

Bake

  • Place spaghetti squash in a 8x8 pan, spoon veggies over it, crumble feta on top and bake at 325 for 10 minutes
  • Sprinkle with basil and serve
