1 medium spaghetti squash
2 large garlic cloves
1Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3/4 c chicken stock, low sodium
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 c parmesan cheese, grated
3/4 c plain Greek yogurt, low-fat
2 c (6 oz) cooked chicken breast, shredded
1/4 c low-fat Mozzarella cheese, shredded
*Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise & scoop the seeds out. Brush with olive oil & place cut side down on baking sheet & bake for 45-60 minutes.
*Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat add olive oil. Add garlic & salute for a minute or two. Add chicken stock, cornstarch, salt pepper & whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low & simmer for a few min until sauce has thickened a bit.

7-Ingredient Easy Zuppa Toscana
- 1 pound ground hot* Italian sausage
- 1 small white onion, peeled and diced
- 4 cups good-quality chicken stock
- 1 (12-ounce) jar DeLallo roasted red peppers, drained and diced
- 1 bunch kale, roughly chopped (and stems removed, if desired)
- 1 pound DeLallo potato gnocchi
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper
- optional toppings: freshly shaved or grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon
*Add Italian sausage and diced onion to the large stockpot or Dutch oven. Cook over medium-high heat until the sausage is completely browned, stirring occasionally and breaking up the sausage with a spoon. Drain out as much of the excess grease as possible.
Then add in the chicken stock and diced roasted red peppers, and
bring the mixture to a simmer (still over medium-high heat). Once it
reaches a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low and add the kale and gnocchi
and stir to combine. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, or until the
gnocchi are cooked through and tender. Stir in the heavy cream. Season
to taste with salt and pepper. (I used about 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2
teaspoon pepper.)
Serve warm with desired toppings.
You can also refrigerate this in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
