Spaghetti Squash with Shrimp and Tomato Sauce



For our Cooking Club in April, Assunta prepared a dish that I absolutely love, spaghetti squash with a shrimp and tomato sauce.  I think this is a recipe that she developed.  She arrived with all of the ingredients: olive oil,  a spaghetti squash, one onion, fresh garlic, fresh Roma tomatoes, about 2 lbs of shrimp, feta cheese, fresh parsley, and fresh thyme.
The ingredients. 
I had set the table.

She cut the squash in half and cooked it in the microwave until it was soft. Maybe 20 minutes.

The onion was diced and sauteed in olive oil, the tomatoes were cut into chunks and added to the tomatoes and cooked until they were softened and three or four cloves of garlic were sliced and added.  Lastly, the shrimp were added and cooked until they just turned pink.

Add shrimp to sauce. 
Cook just until shrimp turn pink.  
The "spaghetti" was scraped out of the cooked squash with a fork.

Just before the sauce was served, feta cheese, parsley, and tyme were stirred in.

The four of us, Assunta, Boguska, Jeanette and I, enjoyed our delicious lunch. Boguska doesn't eat shrimp so some of the tomato sauce and feta were left on the side for her. 

Ready to serve. 
Ready to eat.
