Have You Ever Tried: Spaghetti Squash

What you need:
- squash
- olive oil
- salt/pepper
- foil
The first thing you need to do is cut the top off of your squash, and then cut it down the middle. Our squash was really really hard - I had to have my husband cut it! Even he struggled with it!
Then you want to scoop out all of the seeds and guts.
Brush a layer of olive oil over each half.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
I cut my foil to be long so that I would be able to wrap it around my squash halves.
Wrap your foil loosely around your squash halves.
Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, un-cover your squash and bake it again for 10-15 more minutes. Our squash was really hard, so we popped it in for an extra 8 minutes.
Use a fork to shred your squash into 'noodles'.
Top with sauce and serve!

My thoughts:

I thought it was pretty good. The texture is different than spaghetti but the taste is not bad. The squash taste did not come through and that was a good thing. I believe we will try this again for a few more times. It takes at least 4 times to get it into meal rotation at our house.
