Total Time: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 15 min.
Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients
1 medium spaghetti squash (about 4 pounds)
1 cup chopped carrots
1 small red onion, halved and sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (15-1/2 ounces) great northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
1 can (14 ounces) water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and halved
1 medium zucchini, chopped
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
Directions
Cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Place squash cut side down on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high until tender, 15-18 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, saute carrots and onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Stir in beans, tomatoes, artichokes, zucchini, vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated through, 8-10 minutes.
When squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to separate strands. Serve with bean mixture. Sprinkle with nuts.
