Recipe type: Main
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
1 large spaghetti squash (1-1.5 lbs)
½ cup prepared pesto
1 cup cooked white beans
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup shaved Parmesan
Instructions
Cut the spaghetti squash in half. Lay it cut side down on a plate with ~2 TBS water. Cook in the microwave for 5 minutes. Test the squash for doneness, and add more time as necessary. (Cooking times will vary by microwave.) The squash is cooked when the strands come out easily with a fork.
My squash took 8 minutes total.
Using a hot pad to hold the squash, scrap up the spaghetti squash strands using a fork. You can transfer the strands to a bowl, or use the squash husk as a bowl.
Mix in pesto, white beans, and salt and pepper to taste (a few grinds from a grinder of each).
Garnish with Parmesan and serve.
