Quick and healthy poser pasta!

So I have really been loving spaghetti squash and the endless possibilities of eating pasta but not really. It really is an amazing substitute.I mean I'll admit it's not the same gooey, soft, melt in your mouth pasta...BUT it really does feel like you are still eating pasta, just a little more crispy :) I cook the spaghetti squash the night before so I don't have to mess with it the next day. To prepare you first preheat the oven to 375. Then you put the squash in a casserole dish (I just lay it in there with a piece of foil underneath so I don't have to clean the dish!) then you have to stick a few holes in the squash to allow for ventilation while it cooks. I use a skewer and do about 15 holes all around...you can use a small knife too. Put it in the oven and bake it for an hour. Take it out, cut it in half and let it cool. Once it's cooled and you can grab it you will use a spoon to scoop out the middle section that isn't really the stringy good stuff you want. You might see the seeds too and you will off course scoop them out. Once you have scooped out the middle from each half you just take a fork and start scraping the sides of the squash and it will just start coming off like strings (noodles!). I just do this as much as I can and then I dump it all in a Tupperware bowl and put in the fridge. So then my dinner for the next day is pretty much done...I will just need to make some good sauce.
The next day I just used tomato sauce, garlic salt, pepper, sea salt, mushrooms, bell peppers, garlic cloves and simmered it on the stove for about an hour while I took a shower and watched bad tv. Then I just scooped out some squash from my tupperware dish in the fridge and heated it in the microwave:

                                                   Then I finished up simmering the sauce...

                                                                                         

THEN....the finished product- Spaghetti Squash spaghetti

It was delicious! If I weren't doing Vegan this week I would have added cheese and it would have probably been even more scrumptious. I am testing myself this week to see if I can be a Vegan for a week :) We will see how it goes...
