EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Spaghetti squash gets its name from its flesh, which when cooked separates into yellow-gold spaghetti-like strands.

Microwave to the rescue! Pierce squash with fork; place on microwavable paper towel in microwave oven. Cook on High 16 to 19 minutes, turning squash over after 8 minutes, until tender. Let stand 10 minutes; continue as directed.

Surprisingly delicious! Just the right blending of flavors, I think the garlic salt really topped it off well. I used fresh parsley. Can't wait to make it for the grandsons 8 & 6. I'm sure they will love it too! My vegetarian friend will love this recipe! For a plus, it has lots of fiber.

This is one of those recipes which, after you have made it once, you can then personalize the next time. I really enjoyed this and remember, you can never have too much parm. Toasted, chopped hazelnuts add wonderful flavor and texture. Add them just before you serve. You can also serve it in a bowl, topped with spaghetti sauce.
