Spaghetti Squash

The final part of our Columbus Day meal - the star of the show - Spaghetti Squash.

I mentioned in an earlier post that the boyfriend and I picked up a couple of spaghetti squash at a local farm last weekend that inspired us to create the meal you've been reading about this week. This is undoubtedly the easiest part of the meal.

To make the squash, followthe steps below:

Preheat the oven to 400.

Cut squash in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds, being careful not to scrape out too much of the flesh.

Place squash cut side down onto lightly greased cookie sheet.

Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until you can easily insert a fork into the squash.

Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes.

Using a fork, scrape the flesh out of the squash, creating the strands that resemble spaghetti.

Season to taste and/or serve with the marinara from yesterday's post.

Happy eating!
