Spaghetti Squash Primavera

I've been craving pasta days, and I have yet to buy a spiraler for zoodles. Spaghetti squash seemed like a good stand in, and it was! Very yummy.



Ingredients
1 spaghetti squash
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 handfuls of spinach
1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes
Sea salt
Black pepper
Garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  2. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise.
  3. Scoop out all seed and string things (looks like a pumpkin).
  4. Coat insides of both halves in olive oil with brush and place face down on a baking sheet covered in aluminum foil.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Scrape out "spaghetti" from inside the squash once it has cooled a bit.
  7. Saute onions with garlic and olive oil for 3-5 minutes in skillet.
  8. Add in spaghetti squash and mix after sprinkling everything with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  9. Add spinach and sun dried tomatoes, stirring until well mixed.
  10. Continue to heat for 3-5 minutes.
  11. Remove from heat and serve. I added a little fresh Parmesan on top for a little extra flavor. Definitely recommended to enjoy!

Zucchini Pepperoni Sticks

I've been repeating recipes lately so haven't been posting as much. I've had the worst craving for pizza lately, so I decided to make one....on a piece of zucchini. It definitely helped satisfy the craving!


Ingredients
2 medium zucchini
1 small can tomato sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
20 slices of pepperoni
Garlic powder
Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Slice zucchini in half length-wise and scoop out some of the zucchini to create a little boat.
  3. Use paper towel to dab out as much water from the zucchini as possible (It will help you when eating later).
  4. Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning on zucchini slices.
  5. Mix about a tablespoon of garlic powder and Italian seasoning with the tomato sauce and then spread two-ish table spoons onto each zucchini slice.
  6. Sprinkle mozzarella onto zucchini slices evenly.
  7. Add 5 pepperoni slices to each zucchini. (I sprinkled a little of the cheese over the pepperoni.)
  8. Bake zucchini for 40 minutes.
  9. Enjoy!
