Spaghetti Squash with Spaghetti Sauce
My aunt, my mother’s sister, who lived on a farm in northern Smith County invited my parents and I to their house for dinner and she fixed a spaghetti squash. I have never seen a spaghetti squash or tasted one or even knew it existed. Then she had spaghetti sauce there to put on it. I was so surprised to see that it actually came out like spaghetti. I didn’t know for sure if I was a fan of spaghetti squash now or not. But it has been something I have been fixing many times for myself and it is carb-free and probably healthier than regular spaghetti pasta.
SHOPPING LIST
-
Spaghetti squash
- Three cheese spaghetti sauce
- Parmesan cheese
2 servings/15 minutes prep/1/2 hour cook time
Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash
- salt to taste
- three cheese spaghetti sauce
- Parmesan cheese
Directions
Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise with a very sharp knife. Scoop the seeds out with a spoon. Place the flat side of the spaghetti squash down in a large baking dish and pour in water up to an inch in the dish. Bake 325 in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes. The squash should be caving in a little on the top or sides. Take the dish out of the oven and set on trivets to cool. When able to touch the squash turn it over and with a fork, rake out the squash and place on a plate. Salt the squash lightly and add the three cheese spaghetti sauce on top of the squash. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Finished with three cheese spaghetti sauce and a little grated Parmesan cheese
Angel Food Dessert
One night I was hungry and wanted something sweet and I didn’t want to go to the store because it was a cold and snowy evening. I looked in my cupboards and refrigerator and I took out the Cool whip container and I had some leftover angel food cake, and some leftover pineapple. So I put the pineapple on top of the Angel food cake and then added Cool whip on top. I thought that was pretty tasty and I think I took that to a church dinner or somewhere and decided it was kind of sloppy and messy so the next time I tore up the Angel food cake into bite-size pieces and drained the pineapple, added that and stirred in the Cool Whip. That was a better way to transport the dessert. The next time I added shredded coconut.
For yourself you don’t have to use pineapple, you can mix in any fruit you want like cherry pie filling, maraschino cherries, even marshmallows. The possibilities are endless.
