Simple Spaghetti Squash with Garlic, Tomato and Baby Spinach
I love when I home for lunch and I get to whip something up with what I have on hand. 
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 5-6 cloves of garlic diced
- 1 large juicy tomato cut into chunks
- About 4 cups baby spinach leaves
- About 2 cups cooked spaghetti squash
- Salt & Pepper
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until just turning brown. Add the tomato; sprinkle with a bit of salt. Top with the spinach leaves and cover for 3 minutes. The spinach will start cook and reduce down.
Uncover. Break up the spinach with a wooden spoon. It will start to clump together once cooked. Add the spaghetti squash a little at a time and stir in. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Serve!
The whole batch is only about 300 calories, 15 g of fat and 9 g of fiber and that’s a huge serving. Only half is pictured.
Note: you can cut back the olive oil a bit and shave a little fat off the total.

That looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing it!
Hello Roni ~ you got me hooked on Spaghetti Squash, I have it on hand like a staple. I add it to my salads, use it for pasta with alfredo, (from your posting questions for Laughing Cow Cheese suggestions) Thank you for that. I also add an egg white to some and saute and roll up in a whole wheat tortilla, my take on a potato egg burrito, it's quick out the door breakfast on the way to the gym. If anyone is not sure about trying spaghetti squash, try it, it doesn't taste like squash at all, it's sweet, firm strings are really delicious.
Roni - have a Sensational Sunday, I'm planning on one tomorrow. Thanks for all your great ideas, support, and sharing your cute son's photos with us.

I tried Spaghetti Squash for the first time because of your blog. OH MY GOD!!!! How have I lived so long without hearing about this veggie? My boys and I had it for lunch today and it is taking all my will power not to cook up the other squash. Thank you!
Hi, I've been following your success with maintenance for several months. I check out your site almost daily. I want to thank you for so many wonderful recipes and ideas. I am now going to over come my fear of trying new foods and will purchase a Spaghetti Squash tomorrow.
I loved the idea of the Sweet Potato Fries and the Squash fries. I have been using the McCormick Cinnamon Chipolte Rub on both of these (I actually use it on everything) am must try.
THIS RECIPE IS AWESOME! you converted yet another one, THANK YOU SO MUCH! My toddler loved it too!
