Roasted Spaghetti Squash<\/span><\/div>\n
Barely adapted from Martha<\/a><\/div>\n
4 servings<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1 spaghetti squash (3 or so pounds), halved lengthwise, seeds removed<\/div>\n
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 1\/2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1\/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 1\/2 ounces)
1 TB dried parsley
1 TB dried cilantro
1\/4 cup toasted almonds<\/div>\n

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush cut sides of squash with oil, and sprinkle with sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Place squash, cut sides down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until tender, 45-50 minutes. Let cool slightly on the sheet for 10 minutes.<\/li>\n
  2. Scrape squash with a fork to remove flesh in long strands. (This is so fun!) Place in a large bowl. Add oil, Parmesan, parsley, cilantro, hazelnuts, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Toss, and serve immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Notes: This is NOT filling on its own. It might work topped with marinara sauce, but some shrimp or chicken or something is def needed on the side! Just thought I should share. I made the mistake of taking a to-go bowl of the squash to work for lunch…and was hungry an hour later! Learn from my mistakes…and then smile because you are a little smarter. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
