My friend Jennie gave me this recipe and she’s a pretty good cook, so I think you’ll enjoy it!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes for squash, 10 minutes to finish off dish
Ingredients:
1 spaghetti squash
olive oil
salt
pepper
1 jar marinara sauce (or home made)
ground turkey, beef, or italian sausage (optional) – this ingredient can be omitted for vegetarian option
1chopped garlic clove
1 chopped onion
parmesan
shredded mozzarella (optional)
ricotta (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven at 400 degrees. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Boil in lightly salted water for 25-30 minutes, or until fork tender. In a separate sauce pan, saute onions, add garlic, brown the meat, and add the marinara sauce. Put the spaghetti squash on a bake safe platter. Use a fork to shred the squash. Drizzle olive oil, add salt/pepper over squash. Spread a layer of ricotta on squash (optional). Pour meat/marinara sauce over squash. Sprinkle mozarella (optional) and shave parmesan. Throw the dish back in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Voila!
SPEEDY VERSION: Instead of boiling, put the squash halves in a microwave safe dish, fill dish with 1/2 inch of water, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 10-12 minutes or until fork tender. Instead of putting the dish in the oven to finish off the dish, throw it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Do you ever crave a yummy graham cracker to make s’mores or pie crusts? Well you’re in luck. Kinnikinnick, which makes some of my favorite GF baked goods now offers S’moreables “graham style crackers.” They are a little smaller and more crumbly than normal graham crackers, but they will do the trick.
