Sphaghetti Squash


Yum!
So because I don't eat gluten and to save the carbs I learned how to make Spaghetti using spaghetti Squash! Very simple and good for you and very yummy!
Here is what you do:
Poke the squash like you would a potato, then place it in a baking dish filled 1/3 with water. Place in a 400 degree oven for about 20-25 min. This makes it so much easier to cut.
When it is done, cut the top off and bottom, this makes for easier cutting, then cut down the middle. Next, scrape out the seeds and finer fibers. Finally take a fork and scrape the inside. You will get noodle like fibers that resemble angel hair pasta. Joe and I like to add a little garlic and Extra Virgin Olive oil and then top with whatever you heart desires. This week I used 3 oz lean ground beef, 1 cup tomato sauce and some freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

(about 2 cups spaghetti squash = 1 block carbs)
