Spaghetti Squash Stew
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, quartered and thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- One 28-ounce can salt-free diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1/4 cup minced oil-cured sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup small mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons salt-free seasoning (see page 4 for brands)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 pound turnips, peeled and cut into thick matchsticks
- 2 cups snow peas, trimmed and cut in half crosswise
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise, then scrape out the seeds.
- Place the two halves, cut side up, in a foil-lined shallow baking dish.
- Cover tightly with more foil and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
- When the squash is cool enough to handle, scrape the flesh away from the shell with a fork, using long downward motions to remove the spaghettilike strands.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a soup pot.
- Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent.
- Add the garlic and continue to saute until the onion is golden and just beginning to brown.
- Add the spaghetti squash, canned and dried tomatoes, water, mushrooms, seasoning, oregano, and thyme.
- Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat.
- Cover and simmer gently for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a skillet.
- Add the turnips and saute over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until golden.
- Add the snow peas and continue to saute, stirring, until the snow peas are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Top each serving with some of the turnips and snow peas, and serve at once.
