Spaghetti Squash

When my church family was bringing us meals after Ansley was born a family brought us a dinner of Spaghetti Squash. It was so tasty and I never got a chance to get the recipe from her. Well I was doing a bit of research on the Internet and found out that the squash is actually called a Spaghetti Squash. All this time I thought she shredded the squash into nice long strands when it turns out that the flesh of this squash naturally does that after it is roasted. So this is a sort of recipe but it's super easy and super healthy. Follow these directions on how to cook the squash.

- one spaghetti squash (recipe calls for a 3 lb squash, I could only find 1 lb squash...so I used 2)
- olive oil
-salt and pepper

- a jar of some type of marinara sauce or your favorite regular spaghetti sauce
- 2 links of sweet sausage (kielbasa) I put in pineapple sausage

Once your squash is roasted throw the rest of the ingredients together and heat it until everything is warmed up. This was great as leftovers too.

I've always been afraid of dealing with spaghetti squash. But this sounds so easy... and we've never met a squash we didn't like!
