Yesterday 40+ Market America employees started on the detox diet as part of the Transitions Corporate Study, including myself. I was looking in the recipe section of transitionslifestyle.com and found 5 recipes right away that were perfect for detox. After sending them out to my classmates I decided that I would make one of them for dinner. Last night, after a day of broccoli and grape tomatoes, I added in a new and exciting vegetable – spaghetti squash. I have included the recipe below for all of you that would like to have a detox friendly side dish.
Simple Baked Spaghetti Squash with Tomato Sauce
Ingredients:
1 (3 lb) Spaghetti Squash
1 can of plain tomato sauce
Italian seasoning blend
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2) Cut squash in half lengthwise and discard seeds. 3) Place squash halves, cut side down in a 13 x 9 baking dish. 4) Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until squash is tender when pierced with a fork. 5) Remove squash from dish and let cool. 6) Scrape the inside of the squash with a fork to remove the spaghetti-like strands. 7) In a separate bowl combine Italian seasoning with tomato sauce, heat until warm and add to spaghetti squash mixture. 8) Mix well and serve hot.
It will taste even better if you use homemade meatless tomato sauce with peppers, onions, and garlic in place of canned varieties. Enjoy!
