Ingredients : Almost Pasta Primavera Recipe
INGREDIENTS
3 1/2 lb Spaghetti squash, 1 medium
1 cup Broccoli flowerets, fresh
1 cup Zucchini, small, sliced
1 cup Mushrooms, fresh, sliced
1 cup Carrot, sliced
1 clove garlic, small, crushed
3/4 tsp Reduced calorie margarine, melted
1 tbsp Skim milk
1/2 cup Part skim ricotta cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp Imitation butter flavoring
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/8 tsp Coarsely ground pepper
Wash squash; cut in half lengthwise and discard seeds. Place squash, cut
side down, in a Dutch oven; add 2 inches water. Bring water to a boil,
cover and cook 20 minutes or until squash is tender.
Drain squash and cool. Using a fork remove spaghetti-like strands.
Measure 3 cups of strands; set aside. Remove remaining strands for other
use.
Steam vegetables 5 to 7 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain well.
Combine squash strands and vegetables, tossing gently. Cover to keep
warm; set aside.
Saute garlic in margarine in a small saucepan; remove from heat. Add
milk, cheese, buter flavoring, and seasonings to saucepan. Cook over low
heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is hot (do not boil). Spoon
cheese mixture over vegetable mixture, tossing gently. Food Exchanges per
serving: 1 food exchange + some free vegetables, 1/2 high-fat meat + 1/2
fat exchanges.... {I found this on the cooking echo, it sounded sooo
good! It may be worth trying out as soon as I can convience "Bert" that
squash is good for you and yours.;-) which is the reason why I put it in
my diabetic recipes file}
