Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium spaghetti squash, cooked scraped and ready to use (see How to Cook a Spaghetti Squash)
3 medium plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
salt and pepper
grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat spaghetti squash, tomatoes, butter and garlic powder. Toss to mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right spaghetti squash. Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with no blemishes or soft spots.
  • Cook the spaghetti squash properly. The best way to cook spaghetti squash is to roast it in the oven. This will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the squash and bring out its sweetness.
  • Use a fork to shred the spaghetti squash. Once the squash is cooked, use a fork to shred it into spaghetti-like strands. This is much easier than trying to cut the squash with a knife.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce for spaghetti squash should be cooked just until it is heated through. Overcooking the sauce will make it watery and bland.
  • Serve the spaghetti squash immediately. Spaghetti squash is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to prevent the squash from becoming watery.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti squash is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pasta. It is low in calories and carbohydrates, and it is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Spaghetti squash is also very versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. Whether you are looking for a light and healthy meal or a hearty and satisfying dish, spaghetti squash is a great option.
