This spicy sauce, which makes good use of leftover chicken or turkey, is also great on true pastas, as well as spaghetti squash. For a vegetarian version, simply eliminate the meat. If you want a substitute, use extra firm tofu.

Ingredients

1 small spaghetti squash, cooked
2 Tbs. olive oil
1/2 C. minced onion
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, finely chopped
12 oz. cooked chicken or turkey meat
2 C. crushed tomatoes
¼ C. dry red wine
2 tsp. capers
2 1/2 tsp. fresh oregano (1 tsp. dried)
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
3 Tbs. Italian parsley, finely chopped

Directions

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat, sauté onion, garlic and green onions for 2 minutes. Add the chicken or turkey and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and wine and bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for another 5 minutes. Pour sauce over heated spaghetti squash and serve.
