Serves: 6

Cooking Time:40 min

Ingredients

•1 medium spaghetti squash
•4 tablespoons butter
•1 teaspoon chopped fresh garlic
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1/4 teaspoon black pepper
•2 tablespoons sliced fresh basil

Instructions

1. Fill a soup pot with one inch of water and place whole squash in water. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and cook 20 to 30 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife. Remove squash to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly.

2. Cut squash in half lengthwise then use a spoon to remove and discard seeds. Scrape inside of squash with a fork, shredding into noodle-like strands.

3. Place shredded squash in a large skillet and heat over high heat 2 to 4 minutes to eliminate excess water. Add remaining ingredients except basil and cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, or until heated through. Stir in basil and serve.
