Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti Squash is incredibly easy to make. When cooked it has a spaghetti-like texture (which leads many dieters to substitute it for the pasta version).







Baking Directions

1. cut the squash in half and remove seeds (if some remain, this is fine- you'll remove them after baking)
   
2. fill a baking pan, pie pan or small lasanga pan with 1 to 2 inches of water
3. place the squash down in the pan with the cut open side face down
4. bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until outside skin can be easily pierced with a knife
5. remove from oven, and scoop out insides with a spoon or fork

Serving Suggestions

1. plain
2. with tomato sauce
   
3. with tomato sauce and meatballs
4. with Parmigiana cheese
5. with melted cheese
   
6. with butter and salt
7. with sauteed fresh veggies on top
8. any other way you like your spaghetti (though I don't know how well an Alfredo sauce would stick to the squash- but if you try this keep us posted)
