Double-Spaghetti Squash




1 medium spaghetti squash (about 3 lb)

4oz uncooked spaghetti, broken in half

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon margarine or butter, melted

1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt



1.Prick squash with fork; place on microwavable paper towel in microwave oven. Microwave on High 8 minutes; turn squash over. Microwave 8 to 11 minutes longer or until tender. Let stand 10 minutes. (I cook mine in the oven. It does take longer though)



2.Meanwhile, cook and drain spaghetti as directed on package; return spaghetti to saucepan.



3.Cut squash lengthwise in half; remove seeds and fibers. Reserve one half for another use. From other half, remove spaghetti-like strands with 2 forks; reserve shell. Add squash and remaining ingredients to spaghetti in saucepan; toss. Return spaghetti mixture to squash shell to serve.

  1. We add other things to this as well. Like onion, artichokes, other veggies or grilled chiken if we need a heartier main dish.
