Servings: 4
Ingredients
- cooking spray of choice
- 1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and using a spoon, scoop out seeds and strings. Place the squash face down on a tinfoil lined baking sheet greased with non-stick spray. Bake for 1 hour or until the skin is easily pierced with a fork. Take out of oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Using a fork, scrape away the squash flesh (it will look like little pieces of spaghetti) and transfer to serving dish. Season with salt and pepper. Serve as a side dish or use it in place of actual spaghetti in your favorite pasta dish.
Notes
After you have roasted the spaghetti squash, you can serve it as a side dish or treat it as you would spaghetti adding any sautéed veggies or meat that you would like and smothering it in sauce or butter.
