My (not-so) New Obsession


From time to time, I get a strong craving for pasta. And by time to time, I mean every day. In cases of sheer desperation: enter Spaghetti Squash.

Spaghetti Squash might be my favorite vegetable on the planet.  To cook it, all you have to do is cut it in half and put it in the microwave for 9 minutes. Then, using a fork, you scrape out the insides and it naturally shreds like spaghetti.  Top it off with some homemade beef Bolognese and you’ve got guilt-free linguini. Or settle for some store bought pesto with sundried tomatoes and chicken. Eat it plain with salt and butter. Just eat it.



And it’s magic. Bet you had to look twice to tell this wasn’t real pasta. Check out the Mushroom and Leek Spaghetti Squash recipe on the other tab as well for an easy, yet again impressive dish to make for friends.
