Baked Margarita Spaghetti Squash - Not only is it healthy, but its gluten free as well!
Ingredients:
1 large spaghetti squash
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 large Roma tomato, finely chopped
2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp. each salt & pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
Steps:
*Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
*Using a large knife or a cleaver, slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise down the middle.
*Use a spoon to remove the seeds and center strings.
*Drizzle the two halves with olive oil and then sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
*Place the squash, open side down on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
*Remove from the oven, check to see if the squash is soft and easily comes up with a fork into a spaghetti like texture. If it’s too hard to remove, cook for another 10 minutes.
*Remove from the oven, scrape and fluff the stringy squash with a fork. Leave the squash in the skin.
*Turn the oven up to broil.
*Add the tomatoes and fresh basil into the squash, stir and top with the mozzarella cheese.
*Place in the broiler for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly browned. *Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving the squash.
