Ingredients

  • 1 large spaghetti squash - around 4-5 lbs
  • 2 tbsp light butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup fresh - shaved Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds.
  • Place both squash halves, cut side up, in a shallow, microwave-safe baking dish. Add in ½ cup water, and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Microwave on high for 12 minutes. Let sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Using a fork, scrape the insides of the squash, thus releasing the spaghetti-like strands. Place in a large bowl.
  • Add in butter, and warm in the microwave for another 20 seconds to melt butter. Stir gently to coat all squash “noodles” with the butter.
  • Stir in garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  • Divide evenly into 4 servings, and top each serving with 2 tbsp fresh shaved Parmesan cheese.
