Oranghetti Squash with Zucchini and Garlic

INGREDIENTS

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil or butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup grated zucchini
1 oranghetti (or spaghetti) squash
1/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream (optional)
Sea salt and black pepper

DIRECTIONS

In small skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat; add garlic and grated zucchini and cook until tender, about 1 minute.

Cut squash lengthwise, remove seeds, and pierce skin with fork. Place cut side down in baking dish and bake at 350F/180C for 45 minutes. Turn and bake another 10 to 15 minutes or until skin is tender.

Run tines of fork lengthwise over squash to loosen spaghetti-like strands; scoop out strands into baking dish or serving bowl. Add garlic and zucchini mixture, yogurt (if using), salt, and pepper to taste; toss to mix.

Melissa - your recipe for Oranghetti Squash with Zucchini and Garlic looks great. You you list zucchini in the ingredients but not in the instructions. Should this be fried with the garlic?

Oops! Yes, it should be! I've edited the recipe to correct that.

Thank you!
