Prep:
15 minutes
Cook:
55 minutes
1 spaghetti squash (about 4 lbs.)
1/4 tsp. each salt and black pepper
4 cups roughly chopped spinach
1 tbsp. chopped garlic
One 14-oz. can (about 1 1/2 cups) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
12 oz. cooked and chopped skinless chicken breast
3/4 cup light/reduced-fat cream cheese
2 1/2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Pierce squash a few times with a fork or knife. Microwave for 6 minutes, until soft enough to cut. Halve lengthwise. Scoop out and discard seeds.
Fill a large baking pan with 1/2 inch water. Add squash halves, cut sides down. Bake until tender, about 40 minutes.
Once cool enough to handle, scrape out squash strands with a fork. Drain in a strainer to remove excess moisture. Transfer 5 cups to a large bowl. (Reserve any extra squash for another time.) Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add spinach and garlic. Cook until spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low. Add remaining ingredients. Cook and stir until cheese has melted and coated veggies and chicken, about 3 minutes.
Add skillet contents to the bowl of spaghetti squash, and mix well.
