I wasn’t sure what I wanted to make for dinner tonight. I wasn’t really craving anything in particular (other than my favorite two-ingredient pumpkin spice cookies), so I opened up the pantry and grabbed the first thing that caught my eye.
A big ol’ spaghetti squash! (<—Well hello there old, grainy pictures!)
After 40 minutes in a 375-degree oven, we had spaghetti “noodles.”
I reheated some of this weekend’s secret sauce, meatballs and Italian sausage to pour on top, along with some Romano cheese.
This sauce is so stinkin’ good.
When I took the spaghetti squash out of the oven, I noticed that a couple of the seeds from the squash were accidentally cooked. I ate one and thought it tasted delicious! Just like pumpkin seeds!
Naturally, I baked the remaining seeds for a nice little post-dinner snack.
I forgot about them in the oven until they were a little too cooked, but they were still tasty.
And now I need to do something about that pumpkin spice cookie craving…

yummm, i love spaghetti squash! need to find a use for the one sitting on my counter right now!
Gah I have been dying to make spaghetti squash!! On the recipe list for this weekend right now 🙂
I had that exact dinner 2 nights ago 🙂 Great minds!
Ah, thank you for this delicious reminder of spaghetti squash!! I was put on a trial-run gluten free diet by my doc to see if I’m a little intolerant, and i’ve been trying to figure out what to do with all of my mom’s homemade sauce that I’m hoarding in my freezer (my fam also has a “secret” Italian recipe, and she made me a big batch a little bit ago).
Your food always looks so tasty! Very keen to try the pumpkin seeds 🙂
