Squash it!

Good Day Teaspoons! 

Today, I squashed my hunger with spaghetti squash! I've never had spaghetti squash before but people at work who are on WW were talking about it lately and my friend K had send me a spaghetti squash recipe. So today, I decided to make it! It was good and super easy to make! It also has a low point value since spaghetti squash is 0 Pts. I calculated the whole thing and it's about 7 pts+ for a quarter of the casserole. 



INGREDIENTS

1 whole spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red pepper, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 carrot, shredded
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tomato, diced
16 ounces tomato sauce
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Poke spaghetti squash all over with a knife and cook in the microwave for eight to 12 minutes until soft. If you don't have a microwave, place the poked squash on a baking pan and bake at 375 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes. While that's cooking, add the oil, garlic, pepper, zucchini, and carrots to a pan, cooking over medium heat.
  3. Cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds, and with a fork, scrape the flesh from the peel. It should flake off easily in strings, resembling spaghetti. Place the spaghetti squash flesh in a casserole dish. Add the cooked veggies, diced tomato, sauce, and most of the cheese and mix well. Sprinkle leftover cheese on top and bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
  4. Allow to cool for five minutes, serve, and enjoy!

You could easily add some chicken in the there if you wanted to add meat. Hope you'll enjoy it :)
