Recipe of the Week 4/12: Egg and Avocado Spaghetti Squash Boats

Yields 2 Servings 

Ingredients 

• 1 small spaghetti squash
• 4 tbsp salsa divided
• 1 avocado chopped & divided
• 2 large eggs
• 4 tbsp low sodium ketchup divided 

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 400 F degrees F. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop the seeds out. Place cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool until safe to the touch, about 15 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Using a fork, separate spaghetti squash into strands leaving them inside the shells. Add 2 tbsp of salsa to each half and mix gently with a fork. Top with 1/2 avocado and break 1 egg on top of each shell. If you like runny egg yolk, do not make a well in the middle of the squash and break the egg on top. For a fully baked egg, sink it more into squash. Bake for 20 - 22 minutes or until the egg whites appear to be set. Serve hot drizzled with ketchup.
