Servings per Recipe: 4
Ingredients
- One 2 Lb spaghetti squash
- 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp dried oregano
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 can (~15 oz) Great Northern beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- In a medium bowl, mix the tomatoes, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Transfer to a 13x9 pan and roast uncovered for 10 minutes.
- To soften the skin, place the spaghetti squash in the microwave and cook for 4-5 minutes.
- Cut the top off the squash and then cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Place the squash face down in a 13x9 pan and fill the pan with 1 cup of water. Return to the microwave; cook an additional 10 minutes and allow it to cool to the touch.
- Meanwhile combine the beans and parsley in the same bowl used to mix the tomatoes.
- After the tomatoes have cooked for 10 minutes, stir in the beans and parsley. Roast another 5 minutes.
- Using a fork, scrape the inside of the spaghetti squash onto plates and top with beans and tomatoes.
