There is something unique about a veggie that works as a favorite pasta. Spaghetti Squash is a scrumptious, nutritious alternative to pasta. It is pretty easy to prepare as well.

For a family of four 2 large spaghetti squash should make a nice size meal.

Step 1. Cut your squash in half and remove seeds.
Step 2. Place each half face down on a cookie sheet.
Step 3. Bake for 1 hour at 400 degrees.
Step 4. Remove from cookie sheets and allow to cool for 15 minutes
Step 5. Scrape the inside of the squash to remove strands of squash.

You can make spaghetti sauce and even toss in some meatballs to make a wonderful dinner. You can let it cool and toss with a nice light Italian dressing for a pasta salad. You can even just serve it with some butter and parmesean cheese for a light meal.
