Spaghetti Squash Stir Fry

 
 
We received two Spaghetti Squash in our Bountiful Basket a couple of weeks ago. I went on Pinterest and looked up a few recipes, but none of them just jumped out at me, so I ended up taking things I liked, and had on hand, and combined them to make this dish.

To be honest, when I taste tested as I cooked, I had little hope for the final outcome. I have grown to like squash over the years, however it still isn’t one of my favorites. After cooking it properly, thinking I overcooked it, in fact, it was still slightly crunchy and very bland.  So, I spruced it up with some garlic butter grape seed oil from WildTree and stuck it in the microwave for a few minutes. Still crunchy. So then I decided to throw it in with the veggies and sausage and simmer it covered for 10 minutes. FINALLY it was tender.

Spaghetti Squash Stir Fry


Ingredients:

1 -2 spaghetti squash cooked and dug out  (how)
1-2 packages sausage (I used turkey because it was on sale at Lynn's, but I normally buy Cheddar wurst)
1 onion sliced
1-2 cloves garlic
1 can diced fire roasted tomatoes
4+ tablespoons oil (Garlic butter Grapeseed Oil from WildTree is amazing)

Directions:

Prepare your Spaghetti Squash (how) by your mthod of choice. While squash is cooking, slice onion and sausage and mince your garlic into a skillet or fry pan. add half of oil and saute. Once squash is done cooking, scrape out with a fork into a large bowl. Add remaining oil into squash and toss. Add tomatoes and squash to skillet, cover and simmer 10 minutes. DONE!

 

I was still a little leery of the final product so I dished small portions into bowls… Then I started to get some Mmmmms. It was a huge hit with my criticizing husband so I tried it. YUM! Not. Bad. At. All. We decided it was a KEEPER after all. The leftovers didn’t last a day.
