“Spaghetti” Squash Pasta
Ingredients:
1 Spaghetti Squash
Garlic
Sea Salt
Organic Butter or Olive oil
Marinara Sauce (recipe included)
Directions:
1) There are two ways to prepare a Spaghetti Squash. Choose the one that is best for you.
- Cut the squash lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and then cook for 30 minutes at 375° by laying the rind side down in a baking dish. (Please note, this allows for shorter cooking time but it can be difficult to cut a raw squash)
- OR puncture the squash with a sharp knife several times and place it into a baking dish whole. Cook at 375° for 1 hour. Cut lengthwise and remove the seeds. Use caution as it will be very hot!
2) After cooking the squash and removing the seeds, simply use a fork to shred each side into a large bowl. The strands will look like spaghetti!
3) Stir in garlic, sea salt and butter or olive oil to taste.
4) Add a jar of sugar-free marinara sauce or use the recipe below to make your own.
