Spaghetti Squash Caprese
I finally got around to trying spaghetti squash. Wow, it is really a fun veggie! I looked at several recipes on how to roast it including the label recipe on the one I bought. After much research, I roasted the spaghetti squash whole (mainly because I couldn't cut through it!!). It turned out great- the squash was so tender and delicious! This is a great veggie to help you stay full when dieting. Enjoy!
