Baked Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squash is so fantastic. It is also the only squash that I like all thanks to my Great-Grandpa Wright. I would never eat it at home but we were visiting him and you didn't say no to Grandpa so I ate it and was pleasantly surprised to find that I liked it. It is also really fun because it does look like spaghetti and is fun to scrape out. This is a fun thing for kids to do and eat. There are also many dishes you can use spaghetti squash for but my favorite is simply baked. My dad is a great cook and this is how he makes it. (You can keep an uncut spaghetti squash for several months if kept in a cool place and they are pretty easy to grow.)

Ingredients:

• Spaghetti squash
• 1-2 Tbsp. butter
• Salt
• Pepper

 Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Slice the squash length-wise and scrape out the seeds.
3.  Put the butter in the middle of each half and cover squash with aluminum foil.
4. Place on a baking sheet and bake is the oven for 1 hour or until soft and the flesh pulls away easily.
5. Season with salt and pepper and serve!

That's all! Super easy, delicious, fun and nutritious!
