Meal Time: Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti Squash I feel is a good start into my cooking plans.

It's a dish that I'm at least familiar with, and is pretty easy for a novice like myself.

1 Jar spaghetti sauce

3 roma tomatoes

1 zucchini

3 mushrooms

1 spaghetti squash

1 bunch asparagus

All I did was start with a tomato/spaghetti sauce and added a few veggies like zucchini and mushrooms.

I substituted pasta for the spaghetti squash, which has noodle like texture when scraped with a fork.

I just cut mine in half, scoop out the seeds and guts (very similar to a pumpkin) and bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes

The asparagus I just throw on a pan, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkled with Montreal Steak seasoning.  It probably would still be pretty good without any seasoning I'm sure.

Very simple, and pretty filling.

I think the key to any culinary success for me will be starting with the basics.

Every attempt at any Martha Stewart-grandiose-scientific-formula of a meal tends to end up a charred mess that takes days to clean.

So here are my baby steps at food...and posting these entries.
