Spaghetti Squash Variation

For another variation on this recipe, prepare sauce as outlined for Zucchini pizza, but instead of zucchini, use spaghetti squash!

Easy preparation of spaghetti squash: slice squash in half longwise, scoop out seeds. Wrap each half in saran wrap and microwave for 5-7 minutes. Remove saran wrap, scoop out spaghetti into casserole dish. (squash innards should resemble spaghetti noodles)

Pour hot sauce over top, then sprinkle cheese over top and place in oven at 400 degrees until cheese melts.

remove and enjoy!
