Parmesan Spaghetti Squash

We had this as a main dish because we try to have at least one vegetarian meal a week, but I have to say that this would be awesome served on the side of the parmesan crusted chicken recipe I posted a while back. I slightly overcooked the squash. You  should be able to see the strands more clearly.

Ingredients:
1 spaghetti squash
1/3 cup reduced fat parmesan cheese
desired amount of cherry tomatoes, diced
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp olive oil
shredded italian cheese, for garnish

Directions:
There are several ways to prepare a spaghetti squash.  Click here to see your options.(note: I baked mine, but I skipped the olive oil step). Once your spaghetti squash is done and shredded into strands, set it aside. Dice garlic and saute it lightly in the 1 tsp of olive oil. Add the garlic mixture to the spaghetti squash; add remaining ingredients and toss to mix. Serve the squash in one half of the shell and garnish with cheese.

The entire recipe is only 4 weight watcher points.
