Spaghetti Squash!

Spaghetti squash is a great alternative to pasta.

I has a few carbs but lots of fiba (fiber).

It taste great with a drizzel of EVOO (extra vergin olive oil)

Top with lots of parsley, pepper and grated asiago cheese

It is a meal in itself, just like a bowl of pasta without all the carbs

Karen it is so easy....
Cut in in half long ways (it makes two bowl boats) Take out the gunk and wash it clean....In a deep roaster pan put water half way up with a clove of garlic in the water and some pepper and oragano/parsley to add flavor to the steam...put the skin side in and do not let the flesh side get wet.....I cover for about 20 mins to keep the steam in then take off tinfoil to let out the steam and cook at 400* for about 40mins after the 1st 20 at 350*.......Add the drizzel of EVOO and the pepper/parsely and grated cheese...yum with a fork pull up the flesh and it looks like a bowl of spaghetti......Let me know how it comes if you make it.... ; )
