Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 spaghetti squash (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)

1 medium zucchini (Italian squash) -- grated

1 C tomato sauce (or a 6 oz. can tomato paste

+ 2 oz water)

1 t dried (or finely chopped fresh) basil

1 t dried oregano

1 t garlic powder (or 2 cloves finely chopped

fresh garlic)

1/4 t fresh ground black pepper

1/4 t salt (optional)

serrano chili sauce or other hot pepper

(optional)

 

 

Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Carefully scrape out seeds, but do not

cut into the squash. While squash is cooking, preheat oven and prepare other

ingredients.

 

There are two stages: the first stage can be done by microwave or stovetop. To

microwave, place half squash in a dish with 1/4 C water, cover with plastic wrap

and cook at high for 7 minutes. For stovetop, place half squash cut-side down in

a pot with 2 inches of water, cover and boil for 20 minutes. Squash is now half

cooked. With a fork, scrape out squash to produce spaghetti-like strands. The

thin hard shell will become a baking dish, so be careful not to puncture it.

 

In a large bowl, add spaghetti squash strands, tomato sauce, grated zucchini and

spices. Mix well and spoon into the shell (or a casserole dish), top with

nutritional yeast, a little more garlic powder (and if desired, fat-free

Parmesan substitute). Bake at 350° F. for 25 minutes or until done.
