My roommate educated me on how this vegetable can be used to make noodles for spaghetti, and I am amazed. It is one of my favorite things to make because it’s healthy (I think), easy, and delicious. Last night we even presented it using the “boats” from the spaghetti squash which really added to the meal – because its all about presentation.
you can use the microwave: cut spaghetti squash in half and place in bowl face side up with 3/4 cup water then microwave for 12 minutes.
or Oven: cut spaghetti squash in half and place face down in a cooking pan. Fill the pan about 1/4 full with water and let bake on 350 for 35 minutes. (this is what we did)
After it has cooked, slide a fork across the inside part of the spaghetti squash, turning it into noodles. Keep scraping until you have the desired amount of noodles. (This sounds weird but once you start it is easy and fun)
add desired sauce and side salad ingredients – we did spinach, almonds, blue cheese and vinaigrette
enjoy
