I had been hearing about Spaghetti Squash for a while now and had wanted to try it. Luckily, both my coworkers had experimented with it and gave me a recipe for the dish that turned out awesome! It was actually very easy to make and something that can be easily manipulated and served with whatever you want. The recipe I tried out as a beginner is below and was delicious! My hubby even loved it so I will definitely be making it again! If you test out this recipe let me, know your thoughts!
