Spaghetti squash.

This veggie is amazing! Wish I would have known about it sooner. So here is another quick and easy recipe.

Spaghetti Squash (pasta)

1 large spaghetti squash

EVOO

Garlic

Spaghetti sauce

Parmesan cheese

Cut squash length wise

 I suggest microwaving it first to soften in up, its pretty tough to cut through. You can cook it as directed on the label, I cooked mine a little different, and it wasn't as cooked as I would like it to be. 

Scoop out seeds

spread garlic and olive oil in bottom of squash

Bake cut side up at 375 for 45 min. or until squash is softened. 

Then using a fork scoop out the strands. It comes out like noodles! Awesome. 

Pile onto plate, top with sauce and cheese. 

I really REALLY. Love pasta. I could eat it all day. So I really love this alternative. The squash took the flavor of the sauce, it didn't taste vegatable-y at all! 

There are a lot of variations.. next time id like to cook it with meat inside the actual shell. So many possibilities.

and p.s there is only 40 calories per cup! Considering that a cup of pasta noodles as 200 calories. Score.
