Oh My Gosh, Spaghetti Squash!

At the grocery store last week, I delightedly stumbled upon an organic spaghetti squash. Spaghetti squash is a bright yellow oval shaped winter squash. When cut open and cooked, the inside of this fun vegetable can be eaten just like spaghetti (has the same texture as angel hair!) I love it because it's delicious, full of vitamins, great for sharing, and perfect for this time of year!



How to prepare:

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees

- Cut spaghetti squash in half, length wise.

- Scoop all the seeds out (Save them to bake for a festive snack, or plant in your garden.)

- Fill a pan with a bit of water

- Place the two halves face down in the pan of water

- Cover with aluminum foil

- Place in oven for 35-45 minutes

When finished cooking, scrape the sides so as to get all the "spaghetti" scooped up. Then add some olive oil, fresh garlic, salt & pepper, herbs, tomato sauce... whatever you'd like! 


Enjoy!
