What's For Lunch?

It's Thursday, and Thursday night is Date Night with my hubby, which means I'll be eating a high calorie dinner… so… I kept breakfast small (calorically) but filling & wanted to do the same for lunch…  I dug around a bit in the fridge and this was the result…


Mock Spaghetti - made with a fresh Tomato sauce on top of cooked Spaghetti Squash.

I cheated, I already had cooked Spaghetti Squash left over from a couple nights ago… but you can cheat too and cook it up in advance :)

Once the sauce was made (I'll explain that next) I just heated up my Spaghetti Squash, put the sauce on top, and voila!!

Now for the sauce, and this is super-simple!!

Take a non-stick sauce pan, spray with spray oil - I used Olive Oil.


Spices - I added some fresh ground Sea Salt & Black Pepper to the pan, some Italian Spices (Penzey's Tuscan Sunset), and a crushed clove of Garlic.  Spice it however you like!!


Rinse and toss into the pan some fresh Grape or Cherry Tomatoes, add some diced Onion, cook on Med-High heat.


Once Onion is translucent and Tomatoes have wrinkles crush the tomatoes (I used the back of my spoon), turn heat to low (simmer) and cover.


I let this simmer for about 5-10 minutes… then I decided I was too hungry to wait any longer…


This is what the sauce is like after simmering a bit…

That's it… now wasn't that simple!!
