Spaghetti Squash with Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Fish

This is a delicious noodles dish packed with nutritious protein without the carbs. The remarkable thing about the spaghetti squash is its natural look and taste like spaghetti without the guilt of eating it.  For this recipe, I am introducing an easy sun-dried tomato paste, which can be made at home after first buying a big jar of sun-dried tomatoes and capers and is very economical,. These items last quite sometime in the refrigerator. It is a good idea to create this paste because it can be used in so many ways. I add garlic and anchovies in this paste because I love garlic and the paste can be used with other dishes with anchovies in them. This dish is a quickly healthy dish to make. It should not take more than an hour to enjoy this simple and delicious meal.
