How To Make spaghetti squash & cajun sauce with meatballs

Step 1

Wash the squash. prick a few times with large fork. Put in Micro-wave Tender cooker, with lid on and locked. Cook...8 minutes per pound. Wait till yellow stem goes down, for steam to escape. Then open.. Take out and put on a cutting board. Cut in half,remove seeds. Use a fork to separate the squash spaghetti strings. Set aside. OR.... Bake or cook the squash with your recipe, the conventional way. While squash is cooking, prepare the cajun sauce.

Step 2

In a skillet with the butter, green pepper & onion cook a few minutes on medium heat then add garlic, cook a minute or two. Add this to a pan with the canned cajun tomatoes added, cook on medium to blend the flavors. Put warm squash on a serving plate, top with the cajun sauce, and meatballs ..if desired.
Step 3

Serve with a crunchy bread,or CORN PONE my two recipes on JAP: #1..."CORN PONE A SOUTHERN FRIED CORN MEAL RECIPE". #2..."CRUSTY BREAD over night & NO KNEADING"
Step 4
