Description

A healthy, crunchy side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1  Spaghetti Squash
  • 2 Tablespoons Parmesan Plus More For Garnish
  • 2 Tablespoons Pesto
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400ºF.

Cut squash in half. Make sure your knife is really sharp as this part requires a little muscle. Scoop out the seeds and discard.

Place squash halves on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and add about 3/4 to 1 cup of water to help steam the squash. Bake for 45 minutes.

Take the squash out of the oven and, while holding with an oven mit, scrape pulp with a fork into a mixing bowl. Scrape out everything until you reach the skin of the squash.

Add in parmesan, pesto and salt and pepper and stir to combine.

Note: if there is liquid in the bowl, just drain it out.

This is a pretty easy dish for a spaghetti squash first timer. I tried it as a side dish with rotisserie chicken. I did some reading around after I got the squash in the oven and found it may be easier to poke some holes into it, cook it whole, and then cut it in half after it’s cooked.
