Blue Ribbon Recipe
Spaghetti squash is a tasty lower-carb side dish. Once baked, it's slightly sweet with a hint of nutty flavor. Brushing it with olive oil and adding garlic to the cavity adds lots of flavor. The threads of squash slide right out with a fork. Enjoy alone or with your favorite marinara sauce and a sprinkle of cheese.
