Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti!

Ingredients:

1. 1 Spaghetti Squash
2. Marinara Sauce (my favorite is Dave's Gourmet Red Heirloom Organic Pasta Sauce from Costco)
3. Parmesan Cheese

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees

• Cut squash in half lengthwise (hot dog cut)

• Scoop out the seeds and rinse the squash 

• Place halves face down on a baking sheet or roasting pan.

• Bake for one hour, or until the inside of the squash is soft.

• Use a fork to scrape out the squash.  It should, start to look like spaghetti noodles when you do this.

• Place the "noodles" on your plate, top with sauce and Parmesan cheese.

I coupled my "spaghetti" with the kale recipe below (I'm really into kale right now) and a simple arugula salad.  The salad had candied walnuts, a little Parmesan cheese, pear slices, a drizzle of olive oil and a splash of fig balsamic vinaigrette.

Feel free to make your own sauce from scratch or add meatballs.  Trader Joe's and Jenny-O  make some really tasty turkey meatballs (I'm sure you can find organic meatballs, as well).  I know it can be hard to sit down to a dinner that has no meat and no carbs, so feel free to embellish.

Enjoy!
