Recipe Review

So on Wednesday night I tried a new recipe - it's from the WW Cookbook which can be found at Costco.

Recipe: Spaghetti Squash with Broccoli and Parmesan

Ingredients:
  • 3lb. spaghetti squash
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 red onion,thinly sliced
  • 1 can Northern Beans (small white beans)
  • 3/4 of a head of broccoli,chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 c veg. broth,
  • 6 sundried tomatoes
  • Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 350 - poke the spaghetti squash with a fork and place in a baking dish in the oven for 1 hour.
When squash is done and cool, cut open and remove seeds. Then use a fork to scrape out the insides of the squash and place in a bowl.
Heat olive oil and add onion and garlic until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
Add broccoli, veg. broth and sundried tomatoes - cook for about 5 minutes until broccoli is tender.
Add squash and beans, cook until heated - about 1 minute.

Serving size - 2 c squash mixture, 1 TBSP parm cheese
Points: 6


It was pretty good and filling - shockingly I think my boyfriend liked it more than I did! The parmesan cheese really hit the spot. He had it as more of a side dish while I used it for a main meal. I think it would be better in smaller doses - 2 cups was a lot!
