Spaghetti Squash Casserole - 23.5g Carbs, 4.1g Fiber, 7.5g Sugar

From: www.peakmarket.com

1 medium spaghetti squash (8 cups)
1/3 cup butter
2 medium onions, diced
1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cup broccoli florets
1 cup peas
1 medium zucchini, sliced
4 carrots, cut diagonally
1 cup milk
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves OR 1 Tbsp dried basil     
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips     
6 green onions, chopped     
1 medium tomato, cubed     
1 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated     

Cut squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Place cut side down in a baking dish, add 1 inch of water and bake at 375 F for 1 hour (OR microwave on high for 20 minutes).

Melt butter in a large frying pan and saute mushrooms, onions and garlic until soft.

Add broccoli, peas, zucchini and carrots. Stir. Add milk, chicken broth and basil. Boil briskly to reduce sauce a little, about 2 minutes. Add red pepper, green onions, tomatoes and cheese. Heat thoroughly.

Using a fork, scrape strands of squash into a large, lightly greased casserole dish.

Top with hot vegetable mixture. Bake 20 minutes at 350 F. Serve with extra parmesan cheese.
