From: www.justapinch.com - added by Julia McGinnis
A guilt-free pleasure. I can eat it alone, but usually pair with grilled chicken or fish for protein.
Cook time: 15 Min
Prep time: 20 Min
Serves: 2
2 Tbsp olive oil
6 cloves minced garlic
1 large tomato, peeled and diced
4 cups baby spinach
2 cups spaghetti squash
2 dashes salt and pepper
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!
