I'm going to show you how to use spaghetti squash instead of regular spaghetti but to eat it just like it's spaghetti so you're getting a vegetable instead of pasta to act like a pasta that's more nutritious and you don't have the bulk of the pasta that you're eating it's really delicious and it's easy to make I cut the spaghetti squash and a steamer basket mine looks like this and the first thing I'm going to do is set this pot of water and put it on high and now I'm going to get ready and slice up the squash so here's my spaghetti squash and I always cut off the ends to make it easier now I've seen some people stand it up on end like this and then just cut it through I don't know that I'm strong enough to do that you could also score it just to have some wines ready here I can't do it this thing now the next thing you need to do is to get rid of all of this inner part if you like the seeds you can clean them off and dry them and bake them just like you would pumpkin seeds I like to start it off by slicing it with a knife you can use a fork or a spoon to get it out and you want to do both hands like so you want all the stringy stuff out of here and then do the other half just like you did this one once the water is boiling put your two camps anything cleaned out inside now I have a very small spaghetti squash here so both pieces fit but I have bought large ones before we're only 1/2 fits and it can only steam one half at a time which is fine okay so I'm going to put that in there and I'm going to set the timer for 30 minutes okay and the other thing is I realize that sometimes the thing is boiling so rapidly that it starts to get a little too low on water so I have another timer that I'm going to set for 20 minutes and I'm going to check the water level at that time so we'll come back for 20 minutes at dawn guys so I'm going to check the level of the water and there's still plenty in there so we're good and we have about ten minutes to go this squash is done and what I do is I take it out and test it sometimes some squash is thirty minutes isn't enough but this one is enough I just use a fork to peel it out and it comes out strands like spaghetti and then I just put it in bowls to serve it and you just keep scraping it till it's almost down to an empty shell so I'm going to serve this a possible just like if it was regular pasta and last I like to serve it just like I would any pasta with some marinara sauce check out my recipe for a thick marinara sauce on this channel
