Wow just finished making this and packing up my lunches, and its even better than I thought it would be. I think I could get my anti-squash husband to give it a go for dinner if I give him some chicken with it. 🙂
I added pepper and a little garlic powder at the end but followed the recipie other than that. Super easy too.

Hi! It’s a big yellow squash actually called spaghetti squash. When you cook it, it shreds and is like spaghetti ! A delicious alternative ! I eat it with meatballs and sauce when my family has regular spaghetti. You just cut it in half and remove the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil, add salt and pepper and bake until you can scrape it out with a fork and it is stringy. Try it!!

Are you using the canned coconut milk? Or is it in a carton like almond milk? Thanks and can’t wait to try it
