Categories     Breakfast

Time 55m

Yield 1 squash, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium spaghetti squash
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
1 (10 ounce) can fat free condensed cream of celery soup
1 cup fat-free cheddar cheese, shredded divided into 1/4 cup and 3/4 cup
8 ounces nonfat sour cream
1/4 cup margarine, melted (real butter works best)
1 -2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Wash the spaghetti squash. Pierce the rind 4-5 times with a sharp knife. Place in oven-proof pan. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven until soft, 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees. (Alternatively, place pierced squash on paper-towel lined plate and microwave 10-12 minutes.).
  • When the squash is cool enough to handle, slice lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and discard. Fork the squash into strands and place in buttered casserole dish.
  • While squash is baking, mix together soup, sour cream, chopped onion, garlic, and 1/4 cup of cheese.
  • When strands of squash have been placed into casserole dish, toss with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste (I use almost no salt as the cheese tends to be salty enough).
  • Pour soup mixture over squash and stir well. Top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until cheese is browned.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 spaghetti squash
1 large carrot, sliced on the diagonal
2 stalks celery, sliced on the diagonal
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, peeled, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
28 ounces tomatoes, diced (if using fresh, peel and seed)
red pepper flakes (or one small hot red pepper, minced)
1 teaspoon dried basil (I use a tablespoon of fresh when I have it)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch ground allspice
3 garlic cloves, chopped (or more)
3/4 lb part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place the spaghetti squash in a large pot of water (it should float) and bring to a boil; lower heat, cover and boil gently for 50 minutes.
  • Another option is to bake the squash first-- cut it lengthwise and place the halves skin-side down in a baking dish with an inch of water; cover the dish with foil and bake at 350º F for about 45 minutes, or until meat is tender.
  • While squash is cooking, peel and slice the carrots, celery, onion and bell pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet and add the onion and carrot, with some water to prevent sticking. Sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add remaining vegetables with some red pepper flakes and a dash of salt, if desired. Sauté, stirring frequently, till vegetables are barely tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Pre-heat oven (if you are cooking squash on top of the stove)to 350 degrees F.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, basil and oregano to taste, and a sprinkle of ground allspice. Squeeze in 2-5 cloves of garlic. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, grate the mozzarella and Parmesan.
  • Remove squash from pot or oven and allow to cool until you can handle it. If it is whole, cut it in half lengthwise, then remove seeds with a spoon and squeeze any excess water out of meat.
  • Remove meat and break it up into strands with a fork or potato masher. Mix squash well with vegetables and put half in the bottom of a large baking dish. Top with half the cheeses, the rest of the squash, and then the rest of the cheeses.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Let cool 15-20 minutes before serving.
