How to Cook Spaghetti Squash

You can find spaghetti squash in the produce section in early fall throughout the winter.  It is oblong and a soft yellow color.  When cooked, the strands pull out just like noodles.  You can rake them out with a fork.  It is a great low-carb option for noodles.  Eat with marinara, pesto, and/or your favorite meatballs.

1. Leave the squash whole, poke/cut hole all over with a fork or knife.  I like to cut small slits in the flesh lengthwise down the squash.

2. Bake in the over at 350 degrees F for about 40-50 minutes.

3. Remove from over, cut immediately, allow to cool for 15 minutes. 

4. After cut in half (lengthwise), remove the seeds.  Rake the strands out with a fork.

5.  Season with sea salt and black pepper.
