Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti

A delicious gluten-free, low calorie, high fiber (very filling) substitute for pasta. Perfect for fall while squash is in season! I didn't take a picture but this is such a easy, healthy and delicious meal.

Ingredients
  • 1 Spaghetti Squash
  • Olive Oil
  • Spaghetti Sauce (make your own or use a jar, I cheat with a jar and spice it up as this is an easy weeknight meal)

Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Half the squash lengthwise (hot dog style if you will) and scoop the seeds
  • Lightly coat the inside of the squash with olive oil and place both halves cut side down on a roasting pan
  • Bake in oven for around 1 hour or until you can easily insert a fork through the outer skin
  • While the squash is baking, heat your sauce on the stove
  • When the squash is done, remove from oven and use a fork to remove the strands from the skin
  • Cover "squash noodles" with sauce and enjoy!
