Source: Graham kerr, weight watchers
Take whole spaghetti squash. Stab several times on one side. Put in microwave with stabbed side facing up . Zap on high 5 minutes. Turn. Over. Zap until bottom side starts to collapse @ 4-6 more minutes. Let cool. Will be very hot. When cool , cut longwaise. Use spoon to remove inner seeds and Gunky stuff. Use fork to shred squash threads out of shell. ( It is ok if squash is hard as you can cook it longer in the skillet) In skillet over medium heat ,add olive oil and sesame oil , cook carrots, both peppers until softened , add garlic for a couple minutes. Add squash threads and 1/4 cup chicken broth. Stir well and cook covered until slightly done (I like it a little crunchy) adding more broth if necessary. Add in the basil and the Parmesan cheese .. enjoy
Let the microwaved squash cool at least 1/2 hour. It will be very hot. Once you scoop out the middle junk, if the sides are too hard to shred, you can put it on a plate ( upside down) and microwave more. If threads are too crunchy, just cook longer in skillet and add more liquid This is a very forgiving recipie.
