Ingredients

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.
