Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Cut the squash in half. Some people cut it long ways, but I prefer to cut it in the middle. This creates longer noodles. If you cut it long ways, it create short noodles.
  3. Scrape out the seeds. You could roast the seeds separately if you like.Looking for a pasta alternative? Whether you are watching carbs or need a gluten free meal idea, spaghetti squash is a delicious dinner that is great all on its own.
  4. Drizzle oil over the squash. Salt and pepper.
  5. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes. The squash is done when you can easily pierce the skin with a fork.
  6. Let cool until you can handle it with your hands.
  7. Using a fork scrape the inside flesh. It will start to form strand.
