REC: Spaghetti Squash in the Slow Cooker
We made this today. Started it in the morning and came hope to a
delicious supper that was ready to eat. -= Exported from BigOven =- Slow Cooked Spaghetti Squash Easy to do, diabetic-friendly, and delicious. This flexible recipe can be a light main course or a side dish. Recipe By: Pete & Peggy Romfh Serving Size: 4 Cuisine: American Main Ingredient: Squash Categories: Low Sugar, Diabetic, Atkins-Friendly, Low Carb, Kid Friendly, Slow cook, Simple - Easy, Vegetables, Side Dish, Main Dish -= Ingredients =- 1 large Spaghetti Squash ; - about 2 lbs 14 ounces Tomato, crushed ; - 1 can (low salt) 4 cloves Garlic ; - crushed 1 teaspoon Oregano ; - to taste 1 teaspoon Splenda ; - to taste 1 pinch Red pepper flakes 1/2 pound Italian Sausage ; - fried, drained, & crumbled 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese ; - grated 1 bunch Parsley -= Instructions =- Split the squash in half lengthwise. Clean out the seeds and center pulp. Use a fork to punch some holes in the flesh without going all the way through the skin. Place both halves in a slow cooker or crockpot. Mix together the tomatoes, garlic, oregano, Splenda, pepper flakes, and sausage. Fill each squash half with this mixture. You can also use your favorite Marinara sauce from the can or jar if you want to save time. Place the cover on the pot and cook. It takes about 6-8 hours on low or 4-6 hours on high. Cook until squash is very tender all the way through. Scrape out the cooked squash with a large fork. The fibrous flesh will come out in spaghetti-like strands already coated with the delicious sauce. Garnish each serving with some parmesan and parsley. Serve as a main course or side dish as you desire. For a vegetarian version omit the sausage and add some mushrooms. Each (app 1½ cup) serving contains an estimated: Cals: 340, FatCals: 140, TotFat: 16g SatFat: 7g, PolyFat: 2g, MonoFat: 7g Chol: 54mg, Na: 673mg, K: 750mg TotCarbs: 25g, Fiber: 5g, Sugars: 6g NetCarbs: 20g, Protein: 20g ** recipe photo at: www.bigoven.com/recipe163092 ** ** Easy recipe software.
