Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 spaghetti squash
• 1/4 cup lowfat parmesan cheese (just the shaker kind is fine)
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated (you can substitute for cheddar, farmer's, colby etc.... any kind of cheese you want!)
• 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped (1/8 cup if using the dried stuff)
• 1 cup salsa (mild, hot, whatever. i have even substituted this with spaghetti sauce!)

Recipe

• 1 cut squash in half lengthwise.
• 2 remove and discard seeds (or keep them to plant for next year).
• 3 steam squash, cut side up for 10-15 minutes, or until softened.
• 4 pre heat oven to 400 degrees f.
• 5 remove squash from steamer and place on a baking sheet.
• 6 with a fork, scrape the insides of the squash to form the spaghetti strands. (this will be very easy if your squash is cooked enough).
• 7 top each squash half with the remaining ingredients ending with the mozzarella (or whatever type you used) cheese on top to melt.
• 8 bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is all melted.
• 9 remove from oven and give it another quick stir to mix the cheese into the rest of the filling.
• 10 *there is no need to remove the insides for serving. we just eat the squash right out of the shell!
