Spaghetti Squash


- 1 spaghetti squash
- 1 lb ground beef (or less, it's not important)
- 1 jar of commercial spaghetti sauce
- garlic, basil, oregano, etc.

Cut the spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place face down in a baking dish (spraying it first might be a good idea - mine didn't stick at all that way). Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, a little longer if you want it mushy.

Meanwhile, brown the beef and spices. Drain fat and place in a sauce pan. Add jar of sauce. Heat. You can add more spices if you'd like.

When squash is ready, use a fork or spoon to scrape out all the flesh. After cooking, it will separate into short spaghetti-like strands. Serve with sauce.

This could easily be a fully vegetarian meal by omitting the beef. You can also dress up the sauce in any way you like.

It was so easy and it's so cool to see it turn into strands. It has a flavour somewhat akin to sweet corn on the cob and it was delicious.
