Tasty Tuesday!

Welcome back everyone!! I hope that you are having a great day!!  Its another Tasty Tuesday!  I love cooking and trying new things.  This weeks Tasty Tuesday is a pasta free spaghetti dish I made.  I am currently doing the 17 Day Diet and I have been missing my pasta, but I found this recipe and it was a great healthy alternative to having spaghetti and sauce!

Noodle Free Spaghetti and Sauce

1 Medium Spaghetti Squash (about 1.5 pounds), washed, halved lengthwise and seeds removed.

2 Cups low fat marinara sauce

2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley

2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

Preheat the oven to 375 F.  Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil with cooking spray.

Pierce the outside of each half of the squash a few times with a fork.  Place the squash cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for about 45min, until very tender when tested with a fork.  Allow to cool slightly.

While the squash is cooking warm the pasta sauce

Using the tines of a fork, rake the spaghetti-like threads of the squash into a mixing bowl.  (There will be about 3 cups.)  Discard the skin.  Pour the hot pasta sauce over the sauce and toss gently.  Garnish with the bail or parsley and cheese.

I ended up adding some more vegetables to my spaghetti sauce, but feel free to adjust as you like!

Enjoy!!
