Spaghetti Squash Caprese

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!
