Spaghetti Squash Sunday!

It's Fall so we have officially changed over all the vegetables and fruits we are eating and after an inspiring trip to the farmers market we are ready with recipes galore this week!

Preparing the squash:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Using a sharp knife, cut the squash in half lengthwise and place, cut side down, in a baking dish. Add enough water to come 1/2-inch up the sides of the baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes, until the squash is easily pierced with a paring knife. Turn squash over and cover with foil again and continue to cook another 15 minutes, until the squash is very tender. Remove from the oven, uncover, and allow to cool slightly. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and discard. Using a fork, gently pull the strands of squash away from the peel and place the squash strands into a mixing bowl.

After you have prepared the squash your possibilities are endless! You can season with herbs: chives, basil, oregano and a little olive oil. Or you do your own marinara sauce (this is my favorite but being Italian I can't disclose the gravy recipe!). 

Happy Sunday!!! 

Now off to the beach.
