INGREDIENTS

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 2 cups chopped seeded tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 ounces fresh or frozen snow peas, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. Pierce squash six times with a sharp knife. Place on a microwave-safe plate; microwave on high for 7 minutes. Turn squash; cook 7 minutes longer. Cover with an inverted bowl; let stand for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, oil and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat, uncovered, on high for 2-3 minutes or until tomatoes are softened, stirring once. Stir in the basil, salt and pepper. Place broccoli, carrot and water in another microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Add peas; cover and cook 1-2 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Let stand for 5 minutes; drain. Add to tomato mixture.
  3. Halve squash lengthwise; remove seeds. Using a fork, separate squash into strands; toss with tomato mixture. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
