Recipe: Spaghetti Squash with Feta

[killing_rose]

I've had low energy on and off again, so my kitchen activities are related to "Do I already have all the ingredients and assembly is one pot/dish?" 

Time, including prep: ~25 minutes
Ability levels: Can be done while sitting, in stages, and pretty entirely in the microwave. However, you do need to be able to cut the squash (either before or after it's cooked) and scrape the insides into a bowl.

Ingredients:
*One spaghetti squash
*4 to 8 oz. of feta cheese
*3 or so tablespoons of olive oil
*1 can of flame roasted tomatoes with chilies (optional)

I microwave the squash as per this website.  You can microwave it halved or whole; each half takes 7-10 minutes, in which you can be sitting down and not having to stare at the microwave/oven) while microwaving whole can take up to 15 or more minutes. I went with whole because I'd rather get it a little too under or over cooked than have to do the microwaving bit twice.

Once it's soft enough, scrape the flesh into a bowl, drizzle the olive oil over it, and throw in the feta and the tomatoes, if you so choose (it's fine either way).  Mix the ingredients together quickly and serve. Keeps fine in the fridge.

All told, it took about 25 minutes for the entire dish and the most strenuous thing for me was scraping the squash's flesh into the bowl.

This sounds great. I'll have to try it after my next grocery trip.
