Spaghetti Squash
Recently I have been amazed by spaghetti squash. It is so easy to make! You can bake it or microwave it depending on how much time you have on your hands. I think it turns out almost identical either way you cook it. Spaghetti squash has a pretty mild flavor so it can be combined with any other veggies in my opinion. I like to use it with ground turkey, asparagus and broccoli to make a meal.
Ingredients:
-1 spaghetti squash
-Olive oil
-Salt and pepper
Method:
-Cut the squash in half long-wise
-Scoop out the seeds of both halves (you can save one half in the fridge to cook later if you want)
-Rub about 1 tsp of olive oil into the the squash and sprinkle with salt and pepper
-Place the squash half downward into a baking dish filled with 1 inch of water
-Microwave on high for 5 minutes
-Check the squash with a fork. When full cooked, the fork should slide easily into the skin of the squash. Cook for another 2 minutes if the skin is still a bit tough.
-Let the squash cool for at least 5 minutes
-Using a fork, scrape out the squash strands and season more salt and pepper if you please
