Instructions:
Punch a few holes in the top of your spaghetti squash. Put it into a pan to catch any juice that might be released. Place it into a preheated oven at 375 degrees and roast for 1 hour. It will soften while cooking, so you can easily cut it into half to remove the seeds.
To remove the spaghetti squash, just stick a fork into it and twist the fork a little. The cooked meat of the squash will come out in spaghetti-like strings.
I like it better than actual pasta spaghetti, and you might too. Dress it with hot spaghetti sauce, add some meatballs and you’ve got a great meal.
To save time I had some 90 percent lean hamburger spread out about 1-1/2 inches thick in a casserole baking dish. I put some garlic powder and pizza spices given to me by my son, Bruce Kessler, on the hamburger. Bruce knows what’s good; the spices he gave me are a mixture of basil, black pepper, garlic, onion, oregano, rosemary, red pepper and thyme.
I just shoved this into the oven at the same time I put the squash in there and also cooked it for the 1 hour at 375 degrees.
The roast hamburger was sliced like a sheet cake. It saved me from messing around making meatballs. I placed a slice of it on top of each serving, spread spaghetti sauce over the top and had many good meals.
