Ingredients
The Spaghetti Squash:
- 1 3 pound spaghetti squash
The sauce::
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into ¾-inch pieces
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 3 anchovy fillets rinsed & chopped
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- ¼ cup pitted & quartered kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons capers
- ¼ cup minced flat-leaf parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
The Spaghetti Squash:
- Using a large, sharp knife, pierce the spaghetti squash in several places.
- Place the spaghetti squash in a glass baking dish and cook in the microwave on high for about 15 minutes, turning the squash halfway through cooking.
- Before handling, let the squash stand for 10 minutes. Cut in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and fibers. Using a fork, twist out strands of the spaghetti squash flesh and place in a large bowl. Keep warm until ready to serve.
The Sauce:
- Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in the skillet set and turn the heat to medium. Add the garlic, anchovies, oregano and red pepper flakes, and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, breaking the anchovies down with the back of a wooden spoon. Avoid burning the garlic.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, kalamata olives and capers. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked chicken and parsley, season with salt and pepper if necessary and serve.
- Divide the spaghetti squash between 4 plates and top with the sauce. Serve.
