Spaghetti Squash with Tomato Sauce

What an incredible long weekend it has been - sunshine, a road trip, a wedding celebration, visits with friends, morning coffees on the deck and great food. Do we really have to go back to work tomorrow? BLAH!

Tonight I made spaghetti squash with with a ground chicken and tomato sauce. Nice and light -- perfect since my husband ran off to soccer just after we ate.  No sides needed for this healthy meal!  We are huge fans of spaghetti squash in this house (mentioned here as well).

Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash
splash of olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 onion, chopped
1/2 lb ground chicken
1/2 jar tomato sauce
salt & pepper to taste
1 handful fresh spinach
Parmesan cheese to garnish

Method
Cut squash in half lengthwise and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet flat side down. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. While that is cooking throw the chicken on a frying pan over medium heat with olive oil, salt and pepper.  After a few minutes add garlic and onion in with the chicken. Once the chicken is cooked through (about 8 minutes), add spinach and tomato sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes and remove from heat.  Once squash is done cooking use a folk to remove the squash from its skin. Serve pasta sauce over the squash and garnish with Parmesan cheese.  YUMMMMMY!
