Ww Greek-Style Spaghetti Squash (Works W/Simply Filling)

Submitted by Amy020

"I got this from my WW leader. Although I'm not normally crazy about chickpeas or spaghetti squash, but this is really good! Definitely better than simply the sum of its parts. I used canned tomatoes with green chilis which added a bit of spice and IMO "made" this recipe. I did not use dill or mint. This is 4 WW pts per serving."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 lbs raw spaghetti squash
• 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1⁄2 cup scallion, sliced (I used the white and green parts)
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 14 1⁄2 ounces canned diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 cup canned chick-peas, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• salt and pepper
• 1⁄4 cup dill or 1/4 cup mint, fresh, chopped
• 1⁄4 cup fat free crumbled feta

directions

1. Cut squash in half and put on microwave-safe plate. Cook on high, turning squash over every 3 minutes until tender, about 12-15 minutes Let stand until cool enough to handle and scrape out and discard seeds.
2. Heat oil in lg. nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add scallions and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute Add diced tomatoes, chickpeas, oregano, lemon zest, S&P; increase heat to high and bring to a slow boil.
3. Using a fork, scrape strands of squash into skillet with tomato-chickpea mixture. Cook, stirring, until squash strands are well-coated. Allow to simmer for a few minutes to cook off the extra water in the pan.
4. Remove from heat & stir in dill or mint. Top each serving with cheese.
5. 1 c squash mixture & 1 T cheese = 4 WW points.

This was a healthy, filling, easy to make meal. It was great for a weeknight. I used regular feta, but other than that, made no modifications and really enjoyed this. Thanks for posting!
