Spaghetti squash!!

Tonight's dinner was simple yet very yummy!!   Just a few ingredients is all it took to make this sumptuous meal that was filling and Guilt free!!

Ingredients:
Serves 4
1 spaghetti squash
1 lb mushrooms
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 medium red onion sliced thin
1 cup alfredo sauce (I just used low fat version from Ragu)
salt and pepper
Shredded parmesan to garnish

1. cut squash in half lengthwise, and remove seeds, turn upside down in a shallow baking dish with about 1/4 cup water.   Cook in microwave on high about 10 - 15 minutes (depending on size of squash).   Till tender
2. Remove squash and with a fork shred the fiberous insides (should look like spaghetti).
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil an saute on medium heat onions, garlic and mushrooms w/ salt and pepper till softened and somewhat carmelized.
4.  When cooked to your liking add alfredo sauce and stir to heat.
5. add pre cooked squash and stir to combine.  
ENJOY~!!!!

See....easy peasy!!   And so yummy and filling although very LOW in calories!!   Gotta love that right?
