There are some things that I just assumed that I wouldn't like... Spaghetti Squash was one of them. I didn't understand it and thought it looked creepy! On the other hand...I LOVE pasta...I could eat it every single day! The problem with pasta everyday is that it would make me fat...and...I would like to avoid that. After looking around the web at "Healthy" pasta recipes...I came across TONS that used Spaghetti Squash in place of pasta. I decided that I would get one and give it a go...even though...I knew nothing about how to cook one! It turned out to be quite the adventure...but I made a delicious, somewhat simple and delicious lunch!
Getting into the Spaghetti Squash is probably the most difficult task...I didn't know that going in! I kinda hacked it up. Once you get it cut open...scoop out the seeds and such like you would a pumpkin and discard.
After it was halved...I rubbed one half down with olive oil, salt and pepper. I then baked it tender side down on a baking sheet at 450 for 30 min.
Found this in the freezer and decided to use it to spice up my veggie pasta
Here is what it looked like right when I pulled it out of the oven.
I then used a fork to scrape out the tender "noodle like" goodness
Half of a Spaghetti squash makes for a lot of veggie noodles
Added some red sauce ( V's is my fav) and my steamed veggie package
And last...but certainly not least...Parm! MMmmMMMmm
I would for sure recommend this to anyone...it was mega delicious! I didn't even miss the pasta!
Happy Monday!!!
