Spaghetti (Squash) Heaven

       Spaghetti squash is a marvel in itself and wonderful pasta alternative, especially for those unique grain-free and/or wheat-free individuals. Ingredients in this beautiful dish are: organic spaghetti squash (low calorie, high in carotene) and garden vegetable pasta sauce (containing tomato puree, zucchini, onion, spinach, green bell peppers, basil, black pepper, oregano, fennel, and thyme), with diced fresh zucchini on top. This masterpiece is 100% vegetables - how much healthier can it get?! 

       The cooking process for this dish is definitely easy. Simply cut the squash in half, long-ways, and spoon out the seeds. Place both halves, face down, in a glass dish (with edges) and add about 1" water inside. Preheat the oven on 375 degrees, then cook for 45 minutes. When it is ready, take the vegetable halves out of the oven, drain the water into the sink, and (using a fork) scrape the inside of the halves into a serving dish. This should not be difficult, and will provide you with many helpings of cooked spaghetti squash. 

       After the squash "noodles" are fully withdrawn from the halves, compost the shells and focus your attention to heating up the garden vegetable pasta sauce. When ready, pour the steamy sauce on top of the "noodles" and sprinkle diced zucchini on top (optional). Feel free to salt, pepper, or nutritional yeast this bowl of goodness to your preference, as well as possibly add a protein to the sauce (meat, tofu, nuts) - and enjoy! With endless "noodles" to hold you over, your mind, body, and soul will thrive.
