Spaghetti Squash



Ingridients :

  • About a pound of chicken breasts.
  • Cooking/Olive oil (extra virgin preferable)
  • 1 spaghetti squash, about 9-10" in length
  • 2 cans of tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • Italian seasoning
  • Guacamaya hot sauce with lime juice or equivalent
  • Large skillet
  • Stove
Direction:

Step1
This is what spaghetti squash looks like. Cook the chicken breasts in a little olive oil for about twenty minutes, turning and adding salt and pepper occasionally. Use the skillet on the stove-top. Remove the chicken and let cool. Once cool, shred the meat crudely by hand.

Step2
Meanwhile, using a very strong butcher's knife, take the spaghetti squash and cut it length-wise. Remove seeds from center. Place the open side down in a dish containing about an inch of water, so that each half looks like a dome. I usually do each half separately in a microwave oven. Cook each side for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool for about 20 minutes (or use a mitten and proceed more quickly).

Step3
Once warm but not cool, use a fork and "rake" the interior of each half into a large bowl. It's fun, and it really does resemble spaghetti!

Step4
Sauté the onions and garlic in a little olive oil (about 2 minutes). Next, add the chicken breast strips and mix everything together thoroughly and heat in the skillet once again for about 4 minutes. While doing this, add the hot sauce (you're gonna love it unless you just hate spicy food!). I used about 20 shakes from the bottle.

Step5
In a bowl, have combined about 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning with the two small cans of tomato sauce, some more olive oil (not much), and the red whine. Whisk.

Step6
Once the chicken has melded with the hot sauce, onions, and garlic, add the mixture of tomato sauce, red wine, et cetera. Mix thorough and simmer for a full 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step7
Place the spaghetti squash on a platter. Cover completely with the spicy chicken sauce and serve immediately. Bon appetite!
