Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash (about 3 1/4 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed without oil
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 2 cups small broccoli florets
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Pierce spaghetti squash 7 or 8 times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet; bake at 375° for 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Cool. Cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Scrape inside of squash with a fork to remove spaghetti-like strands. Keep warm.
  • While squash bakes, combine sun-dried tomatoes and 1 cup hot water in a bowl. Let stand 30 minutes or until soft. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Chop the tomatoes.
  • Steam broccoli, covered, for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Rinse broccoli with cold water; drain and set aside.
  • Combine squash, tomatoes, broccoli, and remaining ingredients; toss gently.
