Squash- the new pasta

So I've been hearing for some time about how you can use spaghetti squash instead of pasta in spaghetti. It's true! And so easy! I'm all about easy! It smells like squash but really doesn't have a taste so you can use it with any kind of sauce etc. you would normally put noodles in. So...

Step 1: Find spaghetti squash, looks like this:


Step 2: Boil in large pot for 25-30 mins, if you can stick a fork in it easily its done

Step 3: Slice in half length wise and let cool for 10 mins or so

Step 4: Scoop out middle and seeds

Step 5: Take a fork and shred from top to bottom

End result looks like this:


Do I have to point out the fact that being a veggie, its better for you than pasta. Its low carb and gluten free. Voila!
