paleo spaghetti?!?

My first attempt at using spaghetti squash was a delicious surprise (even for a die-hard pasta lover like me)!

Just chop the squash in half, scoop out the seeds and bake, cut side down in 1/2 inch of water at 375 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes. Then use a fork to pull the meat out of the squash – it shreds into noodles.

I used my squash as a spaghetti noodle substitute, serving the squash with turkey meat sauce, and it was a major hit.

I won’t lie – the first couple bites are confusing because the squash looks so
much like pasta, but ultimately the dish tasted like a lighter version of a traditional pasta meal with a little crunch from the squash.

Yay, for discovering a new Paleo meal to add to the rotation!
