Ingredients

1(3 pound)spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded

½cupwater

2tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil

1tablespoonthinly sliced garlic

¼teaspooncrushed red pepper

2teaspoonsgrated lemon zest

½teaspooncracked black pepper, plus more for garnish

¼teaspoonsalt

¾cupshaved Parmesan cheese

Directions

Using a fork, scrape the squash strands into a large strainer set over a large bowl. Discard the squash shells.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and the garlic is starting to turn golden, about 1 minute. Add the squash strands and toss to coat. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook, tossing often with tongs, until the strands are evenly coated and any liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest, pepper and salt. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with Parmesan. Garnish with more pepper, if desired.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
