A great side item that can be counted as a vegetable, but feels like a starch!
Ingredients:
1 large spaghetti squash
1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
handful of spinach
1 tbsp oil
salt and pepper to taste
parmesan cheese to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Stab squash and microwave for 5 minutes.
Cut off the sides and then longways. Scoop out the seedy stuff, spray with cooking spray and sprinkle salt on top. Face it down on a baking sheet lined with tin foil and cook in the oven for 30 minutes.
Once squash is done face it up and let it cool a few minutes. Take a spaghetti spoon (or a fork) and pull out the inside which resembles spaghetti. Put it to the side and throw out the skin.
In a large pan ( i like cast iron or stainless steel so it doesn’t get mushy but it’s still good mushy!) heat oil and let it get hot. You can add garlic here if you like but I left it out for this one. Add squash and broccoli and let broccoli sort of cook in the middle where the flame is. Once broccoli appears soft enough (I like it to have a good bite) toss well to combine, add the spinach, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese. If you would like you can add some butter here for flavor.
