Don't get turned off by the list of ingredients! This is really easy. I cooked the spaghetti squash on the weekend and put in the fridge in a container. I always have some browned ground beef in the freezer, so this didn't take much time to assemble. (To cook spaghetti squash, pierce with fork, then put in the microwave for 15 min. Let cool a little, cut in half, scoop out seeds and run fork over the squash - it will separate into spaghetti-type strands). |
