The flavors in this recipe are so darn good! We served it with chicken, but it would be de-lish on its own as well.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 Tbsp olive oil
6 clove minced garlic
1 large tomato
4 c baby spinach
2 c spaghetti squash
2 dash(es) salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. To cook spaghetti squash quickly, make several holes in the squash using a fork, then pop it in the microwave for about 10-12 minutes (about 4-5 minutes a pound). Allow to cool for several minutes.
  • 2. Remove from microwave and cut open lengthwise.
  • 3. Using a fork, scrape out contents (it will be stringy) into a bowl and set aside.
  • 4. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until just turning brown.
  • 5. Add the tomato. Sprinkle with a bit of salt.
  • 6. Top with the spinach leaves and cover for about 2 minutes. The spinach will cook and reduce down.
  • 7. Uncover. Break up the spinach with a wooden spoon. It will start to clump together once cooked.
  • 8. Add the spaghetti squash a little at a time and stir in. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • 9. Add parsley as a nice garnish and serve!
