This past fall, I was introduced to Spaghetti Squash. I had heard about it before, but it didn't appeal to me, so I never tried it. Then at some point I became curious and bought two big squash from a local farmer and set off to research what in the world I needed to do to make it into "spaghetti".
It couldn't be easier and I don't think enough people realize how delicious it is. It is also a significantly healthier option than a bowl of white pasta. Plus, when you finish eating it, you don't get a gluten bloat or have any regrets about your incredibly satisfying meal.
To prepare the squash:
1. Simply give the outside a good wash and cut it in half lengthwise.
2. Then remove the seeds and pulp, aka "the guts".
3. Cover a cookie sheet with a sheet of parchment paper, and place the two halves on the sheet, rind up.
4. Cook at 375F for 35-40 minutes.
5. Once finished cooking, carefully remove from oven and, while wearing an oven mitt, hold one half of the squash and run a fork lengthwise down the meat of the squash.This separates the squash into strands, just like spaghetti.
6. Add sauce, veggies (whatever you typically add to your spaghetti dishes) and enjoy!!!
