Description
A delicious and healthy recipe featuring spaghetti squash, perfect as a low-carb alternative to pasta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the spaghetti squash in the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute, then transfer to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the squash in half lengthwise.
- Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds, then transfer to a baking sheet. Brush all sides of the squash with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Turn them so that they are cut-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes, or until just slightly fork tender.
- Remove from the oven and let cook for a few minutes, then use a fork to scrape the flesh of the squash from the edges to the center, pulling it into long strands.
- Serve with your favorite pasta sauce, butter, herbs or Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
- Be careful when cutting the squash as it can be tough.
- Adjust seasoning and toppings to your taste.
