I try to keep with tradition and make macaroni for early Sunday dinner each week. This recipe switches up the weekly meal and replaces pasta with Spaghetti Squash for a lighter, healthier dish. After some time in the oven, the inside of the Spaghetti Squash becomes soft and when scraped with a fork, results in long strands which to me, look just like Angel hair pasta. At this point, there are really so many things you could do with the squash to make it delicious. My favorite way to eat it is as if it were macaroni and toss it with marinara sauce. Not only does it look like Angel hair, but the consistency is very similar too. This is definitely a meal to try while it's still fall and spaghetti squash are readily available in the supermarket. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 Small-Med Spaghetti Squash
Marinara sauce
Shaved parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Cut Spaghetti Squash in half length wise and scoop out seeds
- Put Squash face down in a baking dish and fill 1/4 of the way full with water
- Bake this way for 40 mins then flip squash over and bake cut side up for 15 mins more
- Let squash cool long enough so it can be handled easily and scrape all of the insides out with a fork
- Toss with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese
- Enjoy!!
