    Hey guys!! So lately I have become obsessed with spaghetti squash, and trying to find different delicious uses for it. It really does satisfy my craving for pasta, and honestly I wouldn't mind if I couldn't have spaghetti ever again! Takes about the same amount of time to prepare, too! I came up with this yummy dish tonight, and thought I'd share!!!

    1 whole spaghetti squash
    Boneless chicken breasts or tenders (12oz or so), cut into small pieces
    1/2 bag Frozen broccoli, cauliflower & carrot blend
    3/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
    4 Laughing Cow garlic & herb cheese wedges
    Seasonings (I used oregano, basil, chives & black pepper)

    Yields: approx 4 servings

    Preheat oven to 350.
    Cut spaghetti squash in half length-wise, place open-side down on a cookie sheet (I put foil down first and sprayed it)
    Bake approx. 40 minutes, or until the edges are soft
    Remove from oven, and use a fork to remove the seeds (I found it easier to remove the seeds AFTER it was cooked than before, but whatever works for you)
    Once seeds are removed, take the fork and scrape out the insides, it will come out looking like spaghetti

    I pre-cooked the chicken (cut it into small pieces) and veggies while spaghetti squash was in the oven.

    After you remove the insides of the squash, mix in a skillet with the chicken, veggies, seasonings, mozzarella cheese and the cheese wedges until well-mixed & creamy - enjoy!! :smile:

    This sounds yummy! But to save time when cooking Spaghetti Squash, I microwave it until it becomes soft. It's quicker than baking! But to each their own :)

    I tried the microwave for 10 minutes according to some directions I found online, and it was not soft, so I put it in for another 10 minutes - it was softer, but not AS soft as it comes out in the oven....

    How long do you cook it in the microwave for?? And do you cut it in half? Any advice to save time would be appreciated :smile:
