Spaghetti Squash

We recently purchased a spaghetti squash {which was at least twice the current size of Baby Moss}!  Tonight, we whipped up some Spaghetti Squash with Chunky Tomato Sauce, because the reviews claim the dish tastes even better than lasagna.

I was new to cooking spaghetti squash, so I browsed the web in search of some clear and concise directions.  As it turns out, spaghetti squash is fairly easy to cook, and it's a great alternative to pasta noodles.  Kathy Maister's Start Cooking Blog has a step by step tutorial to guide you through the process of cooking spaghetti squash in the oven or microwave.  I chose to microwave our squash to cut down on the prep time for a weeknight meal.

We may add some ground beef or turkey next time to make the sauce a little more chunky, but all in all, it was a very good dish, and we highly recommend giving it a try for an easy weeknight meal!
