Directions

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375º F.

  2. Pierce spaghetti squash with a fork. Microwave for 5 minutes to soften. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and remove seeds and membranes.

  3. Rub cut squash all over with 2 tbsp olive oil. Place squash cut side down on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes. Remove squash from oven and set aside to cool enough to be easily handled.

  5. Use a large spoon or fork to scrape the stringy flesh from the squash into the skillet. Add Parmesan cheese, black pepper and red pepper chili flakes; stir to combine. Serve warm.

    This was very plain and I expected way too much. It was okay just not flavorful.
