Guiltless "Pasta"


Spaghetti squash makes a great alternative to actual pasta.  This dish is pretty much all vegetables with chicken but almost leaves you feeling like you had a heavy bowl of pasta!


Ingredients:  

1 spaghetti squash (seeded and quartered)
2 chicken breasts (diced), 1 small onion (diced),
3 C spinach
1 can tomato paste
1 can diced tomatoes
2 C mushrooms
1 TBSP minced garlic
1 TBSP balsamic vinegar
1 TBSP EVOO
Basil + oregano + crushed red pepper (to taste)


Directions:  

1) Steam the spaghetti squash for 20 minutes until tender.  Heat the EVOO olive oil, add the balsamic vinegar, garlic, onion, and chicken.  Sautee until chicken is browned.  

2) Add the mushroom, tomatoes, tomato paste, and seasoning.  Simmer until cooked through.  

3) Spoon out the spaghetti squash and add to the tomato mixture, add spinach until wilted and entire mixture is heated through.
