Stewed Spaghetti Squash image

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium-large spaghetti squash (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 1/2 tablespoons nonhydrogenated margarine
2 medium red or yellow onions, halved and sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
One 28-ounce can low-sodium stewed tomatoes, with liquid
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 remove the spaghetti-like strands of flesh.
Heat the margarine in a large skillet. Add the onions and sauté over medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until the onions are golden.
Break the tomatoes up with your hands and add them and the squash to the skillet. Cover and simmer over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook until the liquid in the skillet is reduced, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
