spaghetti squash

I cannot believe it has been a week since our last roomie dinner! I keep hearing so much about spaghetti squash so I thought it would be the perfect recipe of the week

MENU
Spaghetti squash - Julie's first attempt
Lemon and garlic salad - jo
Garlic pita bread - jo

Spaghetti squash - this is an alternative for your "high carb" pasta dish. It has gotten a lot of attention lately so I thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately... it was not our favorite recipe. We gave it a "meh". The squash basically adheres to the taste of the dressing.


j&j headed to Whole Foods today to purchase a spaghetti squash and this is it.

Place on lightly greased cookie sheet with the seed side down at 350 for 30 mins

When out of the oven, take a fork to the inside and scrape the interior to get spaghetti like strands. WARNING - pick out seeds...





About 20 mins into the squash baking...

Sauté olive oil, onion, and garlic

Add tomato and black olives, feta cheese optional












Add the topping onto the squash.
Add salt to taste.

This is with Jo's garlic pita bread.









It wasn't our favorite recipe but definitely worth trying.

ROTATION THIS WEEK
j&j - nutrition research rotation... together!
