Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  1. Wash spaghetti squash, pierce with fork in several places, and place in microwave on high until skin is soft. This can take up to 30 minutes, but begin checking after 15 minutes. Let cool.
  2. Cut squash in half and make “spaghetti.” Remove the seeds and then, using a fork, pull out individual strands of “spaghetti.” Toss spaghetti squash with extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, and Parmigiano-Reggiano.

VARIATIONS: You can also top your spaghetti squash with marinara, sautéed mushrooms, or chopped tomatoes and basil.
