Spinach & Ricotta Pesto Spaghetti Squash
Instructions
- Cut squashes in half and place on microwave-safe plate. Drizzle on oil and sprinkle with salt and Italian seasoning over each half. Place in microwave and heat for 10 minutes. If you don't have a microwave, roast in a 350-degree oven for 30 minutes.
- Poach Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and crack one egg into the water. Let cook for 1-2 minutes until white of egg is cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon, set aside and cook remaining eggs.
- Heat a skillet with a drizzle of oil and saute minced garlic and chopped spinach until wilted and tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside
- When squash is done, remove from microwave and let cool. Use a fork to scrape squash meat away from rind and into a big mixing bowl. Mix pesto, spinach and ricotta into squash until well combined.
- Add squash back into rinds and top with poached egg. Drizzle extra pesto on top and sprinkle with scallions if desired!
