Just Fake It

Any of you that know me, know that I am a carb-a-holic. This is not good for my figure or anything else for that matter, but because the world so amazing and has great things that grow I can fake pasta without it being horrible for me. Spaghetti squash!!! Whoop Whoop! It is the best thing to come out of the garden since tomatoes, green beans, and corn...and well anything else that comes from the garden (if we are being honest). I love to get spaghetti squash just because just like pasta you can do many many things with it! Yesterday, when I made this, of course I had to nibble a little bit of it to see how it was, quality control and all that jazz haha! It is soooo easy that anyone with an oven can make it.


Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squasg
fork
sharp knife


Preheat your oven to 350.

Take your knife and just prick little holes all over the outside of the spaghetti squash.This step is VERY IMPORTANT so that the squash doesn't have a lot of pressure build up..built up pressure = exploding squash = BAD! No exploding!

place on  a nonstick baking sheet and bake for about an hour (I baked mine for about an hr and 10-15 minutes just because I like mine very done.

Let it cool down to where you can handle it with your hands.

Take your sharp knife and cut the squash hamburger bun style (short ways, not long ways like a hot dog bun)

Take the fork and scrape out the seeds and gooey stuff from the middle. Don't worry if some of the squash strands come out also.

Take your fork and just start to peel out the strands, Scraping the sides etc. until all of the squash is out.

See, told ya it was easy!

Top this off with your favorite sauce, or just butter and Parmesan cheese (my lunch yesterday).


As always, I hope you enjoy this awesome squash. Please feel free to comment or send me an email at landoffoodandkitties@gmail.com
