Instructions
Prepare the spaghetti squash by slicing in half and removing the seeds.
To roast spaghetti squash: Preheat oven to 350°F. Drizzle squash halves with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast flesh side up for about 30 minutes, or until tender. Set aside to cool, then use a fork to scrape the squash into strands.
To microwave spaghetti squash: Add about an inch of water to a microwave safe dish. Season squash with salt and pepper and place flesh side down in dish. Microwave for about 10-15 minutes, or until tender. Set aside to cool, then use a fork to scrape the squash into strands.
Heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil in a cast iron or deep sided skillet over medium-low heat.
Add the onions and garlic, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are translucent.
Add the spaghetti squash and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Stir the tomatoes and half of the parmesan and feta cheeses into the squash mixture. Season with cumin, paprika and half of the cilantro, and a little more salt and pepper. Let it cook for another 5 minutes.
Use the back of a spoon to create little pockets in the sauce, then gently break an egg in each pocket. Season the eggs with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, spooning a little sauce onto the whites around the edges of the eggs.
Cover and lower heat; let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked with the yolks the desired amount of runniness.
Top with more parmesan, feta and cilantro. Serve immediately.
