Basic Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti squash used to scare the crap out of me. It always seemed so complicated. The first time I bought a spaghetti squash I was so scared of it, it sat on my counter until it rotted. True story.
Now I wonder what the hell I was scared of. It takes 5 minutes to prep. Seriously 5 minutes!!!
Because it can take 45-60 minutes to bake, I usually make this on my meal prep days, then use it later in the week.
P.S. We compost. If you compost make sure you cut up the rind into smaller pieces because it will breakdown quicker.
Spaghetti squash is so easy to make. The hardest part is cutting it in half.
