Spaghetti Squash Parmesan Recipe

Recipe By Real Simple

Spaghetti squash is a pretty incredible veggie: when roasted, it turns into pasta-like strands (the perfect vessel for cheese and sauce). When halved and hollowed out, the squash becomes its own bowl, which you can pile the cheesy squash mixture back into. Store-bought marinara sauce means minimal hands-on time, and the crispy breadcrumbs add some delicious crunch on top. Basically, weve created a vegetarian-friendly neighborhood italian favoriteand we cannot stop raving about it. Make it on a weeknight for the family (theyll start requesting it often), on saturday night for guests, or as a festive vegetarian holiday main. If your market only has small squashes, dont fret Buy two and follow the recipe as written, dividing the mixture between four halves, instead of two.
