Greek Spaghetti Squash Sauté, 0 SP

Greek Spaghetti Squash Saute, a fabulous meatless meal!

This was FABULOUS!! I loved it and my family did too.  My youngest son suggested adding chicken and my husband suggested kielbasa, but it was a wonderful meatless meal. 

Many people are choosing to do one or two meals a week meatless for health and global issues.  This is a super meal for meatless nights or add in what you think fits best.

I also love meatless meals because I don’t have to defrost anything, which helps me out if I happen to forget.

1 tsp olive oil
½ onion, medium
3 cloves garlic minced
½ tsp thyme, ground
½ cup tomatoes, sun dried (without oil)
1 large spaghetti squash
4 cups spinach, torn
Salt and pepper to taste
6 oz Greek yogurt “cream cheese” 
​

1. Poke holes all over  the spaghetti squash, then microwave for about 8-10 minutes or until soft, it will be hot, so be careful!
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onion and sauté about 4 minutes.
3. While onion is cooking, cut squash in half, clean out seeds and use fork to remove the “spaghetti” from squash  shell.
4. Add garlic to onion and sauté about 30 seconds.  Add sundried tomatoes, sauté to warm through.
5. Add “spaghetti” and cook about 2 minutes, tongs work well here.  Add thyme and mix then add torn spinach and let it wilt in the warmth. Salt and pepper to taste.
6. Use fork to crumble the “cream cheese” and combine.

This is also awesome with goat cheese, if you use 4 oz total, 1 oz per serving, it adds 3 points.
