How to Cook Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti Squash are so easy to cook; however, they are a little tricky to cut so I recommend a good sharp knife. Lucky for you I have made an entire post on How to Cook Spaghetti Squash. This post tells you exactly how to prep and cook a spaghetti squash so you can literally use it in place of spaghetti noodles for any dish. So simple, and so yummy.
Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash
Garlic & Parmesan are just two of the best flavor combinations. The only thing that can makes those two ingredients taste any better is butter. Don’t get me wrong, if you wanted to go extra healthy you could opt for a good olive oil. But there is just something butter does to any kind of noodles, even those of the vegetable variety.
Clean up, Clean up
I don’t know if you have heard the children’s song “Clean up, clean up, everybody clean up”. It’s a catchy tune, trust me, but you will not be singing it after this meal. Because like I said earlier, this is a no mess meal. My tip for making this a no mess meal is to line your cookie sheet with foil before cooking your squash. Then prepare your pasta right inside the squash “boat”. You can serve dinner right inside the squash. It looks cute, and festive, and tastes amazing. Enough said.
