Ingredients
- 1 3 pound spaghetti squash
- 6 cups loosely packed spinach leaves
- 3 teaspoons olive oil divided
- ½ yellow onion chopped
- 3 ounces prosciutto chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 basil leaves thinly sliced
Instructions
- 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 12 minutes, turning the squash halfway through cooking.
- Before handling, let the squash stand for 10 minutes. Cut 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.
- Stack the spinach leaves in batches and thinly slice the leaves. Set aside.
- Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and prosciutto, and cook until the onion is tender and the prosciutto is starting to become crispy. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
- Add the spinach leaves and stir until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Stir the spaghetti squash, Parmesan cheese, basil and 1 teaspoon olive oil into the prosciutto mixture and toss to combine.
- Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve.
