Dinner time made easy

Love subbing spaghetti squash for pasta in my favorite dishes, like this cacio e pepe (cheese & pepper).  It’s high in fiber, rich in flavor and super easy to make.

Ingredients:

• 1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley, optional
• 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
• red-pepper flakes (or fresh cracked pepper if you prefer no heat)
• salt, to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.Drizzle squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast until tender, about 40 minutes.
2. Once cool, scrape flesh with fork and toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil, parmesan, and parsley. Season with pepper.
