As per requested, here is my spaghetti squash recipe!
Find the largest spaghetti squash you can at the grocery store, or smaller if you like a lot of sauce. I find a large squash works well with one jar of spaghetti sauce. This is what they look like: (not my picture)
You want to cut it lengthwise, down the middle from top to bottom, and remove the seeds with a fork or spoon from the middle.Lay it on a cookie sheet, rind side up, cut side down, and bake it at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes. (I've also read you can cook it at 350 for 60 - 70 minutes, but the 375 also works for me.)
Once it's cooked, pick up the squash with something to shield the heat - because it will be HOT. Use a fork to shred out the squash. It should look like very thin spaghetti. Kinda like this: (not my picture)
Next, mix with whatever sauce and meat you prefer to eat regular spaghetti with!
I like Kroger brand Homestyle Parmesan and Asiago sauce mixed with a pound of ground lean turkey, mushrooms, and a few marinated artichokes.
No pasta is used in this dish. Enjoy!

Thank you for the information. I am going to try it this weekend. I like to use Kroger brand spaghetti sauce in my regular spaghetti, I bet it will taste just as good with the squash.
ReplyDeleteI used to steam mine...but that takes a GINORMO pot and I actually prefer baking it in the oven now...I also do it at 375 for 45 minutes and it comes out perfectly.
