Cranberry Spaghetti Squash

6 ingredients
18 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 medium-large spaghetti squash (about 2 1/2 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons nonhydrogenated margarine
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts or slivered almonds
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. 2
    Cut the squash in half lengthwise; remove the stem and seeds.
  3. 3
    Place, cut side up, in a casserole dish with 1/2 inch of water.
  4. 4
    Cover tightly with foil and bake until easily pierced with a fork, 40 to 45 minutes.
  5. 5
    When the squash is cool enough to handle, scrape it lengthwise with a fork to release all the spaghetti-like strands of flesh.
  6. 6
    Combine the spaghetti squash with the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and toss well.
  7. 7
    Stuff back into the squash shells.
  8. 8
    Return the filled squash shells to the baking dish and reheat just until heated through, about 10 minutes.
  9. 9
    Season with salt and pepper, and serve, scooping a small amount out of the shells for each serving.
