  • 4 ounces (113 g) uncooked spaghetti, broken in half
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL) reduced-calorie margarine, melted
  • 1 tablespoon (15 mL) fresh oregano leaves or 1 teaspoon (5 mL) dried oregano leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) garlic salt

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400º F (200°C). Pierce squash with fork; place in ungreased square baking dish, 8x8x2 inches (20x20x5 cm). Bake uncovered about 1 hour 30 minutes or until tender.

    Cook and drain spaghetti as directed on package.

    Cut squash lengthwise in half; remove seeds and fibres. Reserve one half for another use. Remove spaghetti-like strands with 2 forks. Toss squash, spaghetti and remaining ingredients. Return spaghetti mixture to squash shell to serve.

  • Did You Know? Spaghetti squash gets its name from its flesh, which when cooked separates into yellow-gold spaghetti-like strands.
  • Time Saver: Microwave to the rescue! Pierce squash with fork; place on microwavable paper towel in microwave oven. Cook on High 16 to 19 minutes, turning squash over after 8 minutes, until tender. Let stand 10 minutes; continue as directed.
