Spaghetti Squash with Yogurt "Alfredo"

My friend Cory gave me this super-easy recipe. I love Alfredo sauce (who doesn't?), but it really can't be a frequent part of any healthy diet. This recipe is really tasty and different and clocks in at about 130 calories a serving, a bit more if you add sauteed veggies. Of course it doesn't taste exactly like an authentic Alfredo, but it is satisfying.

Serves 2 as a large main dish with leftovers.

1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
2 tbsp. Greek or plain yogurt (I used 2% Greek)
2 wedges laughing cow cheese (I used original swiss flavor)
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper
olive oil
any veggies you wish to include (I had an onion and pepper)

1. Place squash cut side down in large dish. Add a few tablespoons of water and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave about 8 minutes, depending on the size of squash.
2. Saute vegetables if using.
3. Add garlic for the last minute of cooking.
4. In a small bowl combine yogurt and cheese (you could add more spices here if desired).
5. Microwave about 30 seconds and stir.
6. Drizzle squash halves with olive oil and scrape strands into large bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Add veggies and sauce and mix.
