Squash Spaghetti
1. Prepare spaghetti squash by microwave for 5-10 minutes, or until soft, (be sure to pierce with a knife before microwave to release steam). Or bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until squash is soft. This allows the skin to soften, which makes it easier to cut in half lengthwise!
2. Split the spaghetti squash into two even halves. Be careful, it’s hot!
3. Remove the seeds first, and throw them into a ‘trash bowl’, (or you could clean them up and cook them just like you would pumpkin seeds!)
4. Using a fork, loosen the ’spaghetti’ strands from the inside of the squash, scraping them into a bowl or plate.
5. Pick out your favorite seasonings you would use to flavor any traditional pasta dish. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Add spaghetti squash “noodles” to the sautee pan, along with the seasonings of your choice.
6.Let squash cook for about 2-3 minutes over medium high heat, stirring constantly until the squash has become more tender and the excess moisture has cooked out of the squash.
Use your favorite meat sauce to complete this dish
gluten free- make sure the sauce is gluten free. (Make the meat sauce yourself and you can control ingredients like wheat and keeping a lower amount of sugar.)
