Microwave

Spaghetti Squash
**Gabe Cohen**Period 5/6

**Prep Time: 5 minutes ****Cook Time: 30 minutes ****Total Time: 35 minutes ****Ingredients:**  **Instructons** 
 * 1 whole spaghetti squash
 * 1) With a long, sharp knife, pierce squash three or four times along the perimeter, making sure the holes extend all the way to the center of the squash. (This creates steam vents in the squash.)
 * 2) Microwave squash for 20 minutes. Steam should be coming out of the holes at the end of this time. If not, microwave for another 4 to 5 minutes. Let squash sit in the microwave for 10 minutes after cooking.
 * 3) Cut off stem end of squash. Cut remaining squash lengthwise. You will see light yellow squash and darker, almost amber areas. The darker areas will contain seeds. Remove all seeds and retain the light yellow strands.
 * Review: **This meal was very simple but delicious and went greatly with some marinara sauce. the texture was very nice and teh taste was quite enjoyable. I would definitely eat it again as I did a few weeks back at my own house.

The reasons why I really enjoyed this recipe was because of how easy it was to make, whenever I go home from school I always get something to eat and with this you can make it very quickly while still having a good amount of the food groups, the food groups include protein from the meat, dairy from the cheese, grains from the macaroni, and vegetables from the sauce. On top of how easy this recipe is to make, it also taste great compared to normal macaroni. If i could add something to the recipe, it would probably be a side of garlic bread, I think it would go great with the macaroni. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who wants to have a great easy meal. <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">5 STARS <3

Enjoy with your favorite sauce!I liked this dish because I love tomato sauce. The sauce we used was the ingrediant we were able to taste the most. It was a lot different than actual spaghetti in that the texture was different. It was really crunchy and the texture was rougher. I never ate something with a texture like that before and I enjoyed it.You get a god amount of vegetables and oils from this, but not much of anything else. So dietary guidelines would not be met. This eat does not grant a variety of food, however there is not much fat so that is a good thing. If I were i add to this recipe I would add some cheese to eat with it like actual spaghetti. I think it would add a lot to the meal. <span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Calibri; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">Lindsay Jones: Comment

The dietary guidelines were not met because there is not a variety of foods, however it is a vegetable and there was not much salt or sugar. I liked it with red sauce and it had a different texture than regular spagetti.
