MUSHROOM PRIMAVERA WITH SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 22 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
• 1 spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound white button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
• 3/4 cup crumbled, fat-free feta cheese
• 1½ tablespoons sliced Kalamata olives
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
Directions
With the tip of a knife, pierce squash in about 5 places. Place on paper towel in microwave and cook on high for 10 minutes, or until squash has softened. When cool enough to handle, cut squash lengthwise and remove seeds with a spoon. Remove the spaghetti-like strands of squash with a fork, set aside and cover to keep warm (or reheat in microwave at serving time).
Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a single layer of mushrooms and cook, without stirring, for about 5 minutes or until mushrooms become red-brown on one side. Stir in onion and garlic and cook for 3 more minutes, until onions are softened. Add tomatoes, cheese and olives and cook about 3 minutes longer, until mixture is hot and bubbling. Remove pan from heat and stir in basil.
Divide squash among 4 shallow serving bowls. Spoon sauce over spaghetti squash and garnish with additional freshly chopped basil. Serve immediately.
