SPAGHETTI SQUASH CAPRESE BOAT

SPAGHETTI SQUASH CAPRESE BOAT

INGREDIENTS; 

1 spaghetti squash, olive oil, s/p.  

1st Mix:  4 tbs olive oil, 2 tbs butter, 6 cloves garlic, 2 chopped celery stalks, 1 chopped onion, 2 cups chopped cauliflower, 1 tsp salt & pepper, 1 tbs dried basil.  

2nd Mix: 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup grated parmesan, 8 sliced cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup fresh basil, 3/4 cup half and half

Garnish: Balsamic glaze

-Microwave squash for 5 minutes. Cut in half, discard the seeds, brush a little salt, pepper and olive oil on the inside of the squash. Place skin side up on a foil lined cookie sheet and bake for 40 minutes at 400. When it's done, use a fork to get the squash out.

-While it's cooking, sauté oil, butter, garlic, onions, celery and cauliflower until soft (about 10-15 minutes) Add the squash and the 2nd mix ingredients and mix well on a low heat for 5 minutes. 

-Fill the shells with the stuffing and bake in a 350 oven for 20 minutes. 

-I garnished with the balsamic glaze to stick with the Caprese theme.
