Spaghetti Squash Puttanesca image

DH and I love spaghetti squash and usually just serve it with a pat of butter, but we have also tried making spaghetti with it using the squash instead of pasta, and it has turned out really well. This is another recipe I found that substitutes squash for the pasta.

Categories     Tuna

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 1/2 lbs spaghetti squash
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaf, thinly sliced, plus additional leaves for garnish
10 ounces tuna, packed in water, drained and flaked (white or light ( 2 cans)
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olive, chopped
2 teaspoons drained capers, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
salt and pepper
freshly grated parmesan cheese (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Place squash in 9-inch glass pie plate and pierce 6 times with a sharp knife. Microwave on High 5-6 minutes per pound, about 27 minutes, or until squash is tender when pierced with a knife. Cool 10 minutes for easier handling.
  • Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix tomatoes, sliced basil leaves, tuna, olives, capers, oil, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until combined.
  • Cut squash lengthwise in half; remove and discard seeds. With a fork, scrape flesh to separate into strands and place in large bowl; discard shell. Drain squash if necessary. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; toss to combine.
  • Divide squash among 4 dinner bowls. To serve, top with tomato mixture; garnish with basil leaves and Parmesan.
