Spaghetti squash is like magic to me. A veggie that turns into pasta! It sounds too good to be true. But it is true. Well, not really. The taste is not the same as pasta obviously. But it's delicious. And the texture is fabulous.
Notes:
The most difficult part of this recipe is to cut the squash in half because squash is really hard. I usually microwave it for about 3 to 5 minutes so it is easier to cut.
