Have you ever tried Spaghetti Squash??
I hadn't before my mother in law made if for us one day and I loved it! At that time I still wasn't really sure what it was or how to make it so it took a few years for us to actually pick one up and try it out. Now we pick them up as a nice substitute for noodles when having spaghetti :)
We have since made it a few different ways and wanted to share a couple of them with you so if you have not tried it to get you inspired to try something different.
Ingredients:
*1 spaghetti squash
*canola oil
*minced garlic cloves
*black pepper
Toppings:
*feta cheese
*chopped tomato
*chopped red pepper
*your favourite home-made spaghetti sauce
*whatever your hearts desire
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Cut your squash in half, wipe on some canola oil, sprinkle with minced garlic cloves and black pepper.
3. Flip in open side down onto your pan and bake for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes you should be able to easily poke your fork through the skin.
4. Once cooled enough to touch (or use tongs) grab the squash and flip over. With a fork start grating the inside of the squash out away from the skin.
Add some chopped tomato, chopped red pepper, feta cheese or put the squash on your plate and cover in your favourite home make spaghetti sauce. Choose whatever your hearts desire and enjoy!
We have kept the seeds in the past to see if we can grow them ourselves too! Wish us luck for this summer!
