Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium-large spaghetti squash (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons nonhydrogenated margarine
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts or slivered almonds
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise; remove the stem and seeds. Place, cut side up, in a casserole dish with 1/2 inch of water. Cover tightly with foil and bake until easily pierced with a fork, 40 to 45 minutes. When the squash is cool enough to handle, scrape it lengthwise with a fork to release all the spaghetti-like strands of flesh.
  • Combine the spaghetti squash with the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and toss well. Stuff back into the squash shells.
  • Return the filled squash shells to the baking dish and reheat just until heated through, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve, scooping a small amount out of the shells for each serving.
