This heart-healthy, low-carb recipe is a delicious twist on traditional spaghetti.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash (2-3 pounds), cut in half and remove seeds
  • 2 tablespoons oil, divided
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil, oregano, thyme

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Brush a baking dish with 1 tablespoons of oil and place the squash flat side down. Bake 30-45 minutes, checking after 30 minutes for tenderness. When a fork can easily pierce through the skin it is done. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. Scoop out flesh into a bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and fresh herbs.

Meal Builder:

Toss in cooked chopped chicken or canned chicken and tomato sauce.
