Spaghetti Squash Pizza

I absolutely love pizza, but don't love the calories. I decided to make a much healthier and filling version that's completely guilt free. I had leftover spaghetti squash and decided to put it to use. You can use cooked cauliflower for this instead.

                        

To make spaghetti squash pizza, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Start by drying the already cooked squash with a paper towel to get the moisture out. Season the squash with spices like salt, pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper and oregano. After the seasoning is mixed in, take your squash and shape it like a slice of pizza. Spray a nonstick pan with Pam and place your "slice" on it. Cook it in the oven for 15 minutes, flip it over and cook for another 10 minutes. Make sure to check it so it doesn't burn. While the slice is in the oven, cook some diced tomatoes and veggies of your choosing in a nonstick pan. Once the slice is done, spoon the tomato mixture on top and sprinkle it with some reduced fat grated parmesan cheese. Now you have a guilt free slice of pizza!

Some healthy topping ideas are pineapple, olives, broccoli, mushrooms and spinach.

Recipe:
Pam Spray
1 Cup of Cooked Spaghetti Squash
1/2 Cup Canned Fire Roasted Tomatoes (I used Hunt's)
1/3 Cup Veggies
1 Tsp Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese
Season to Taste

*Cook at 400 degrees for 25 minutes total
