How do you prepare Spaghetti Squash?!
How do you prepare Spaghetti Squash?
I want to cut carbs so instead of pasta I want to try spaghetti squash. How do you actually prepare it?
And after I prepare the squash do I just pour spaghetti sauce over it like its normal spaghetti?
Also, any good recipes how there? THANKS!
Answers:
Learned this from my mom, tried it myself, didn't screw it up.
1) Cut squash in half, or whatever size needed to be totally submerged in large pot.
2) Take out all the mess inside - seeds, etc.
3) Fill pot with enough water to submerge whatever size squash piece you have, heat to boiling, add salt if desired.
4) Boil squash until you can slide a fork through the shell (rind) with NO EFFORT at all.
5) Scrape actual squash away from rind into large bowl, or whatever you would have put the pasta in.
6) From then on, treat it just like pasta -- sauces, whatever.
