FAST FOOD: Spaghetti a' la Spaghetti Squash

As of sundown tonite, Passover has officially started. Gone are the crackers, bread, cream soups, beer (sob), and cookies... But it also brings with it an amazing opportunity to try new recipes or modify old family favourites! I was skeptical that my kidlets would tolerate a squash instead of pasta but this meal was a HUGE hit and even my pickiest darling asked for seconds!

Spaghetti a' la Spaghetti Squash:
1 jar of favourite spaghetti sauce
1lb browned and drained ground beef or turkey
1 spaghetti squash
1/2 package of light cream cheese (optional)

The Spaghetti Squash Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 and prick all sides of squash with a knife. (I found this step highly therapeutic and may have overdone it a bit!) Lay squash in a baking dish and bake for 1 hour. After it's done baking set it out to cool, once you can handle it (without burning off your fingerprints), use a serrated knife and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and darker strands of squash-goo. Use a fork to scrape the sides and scoop out the spaghetti strings into a large bowl.

The Sauce:
Pour jar of spaghetti sauce into a pan and mix in ground meat, bring to a bubble over medium heat. Warm the cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds until soft and add to the meat sauce mixture. Stir until well mixed and serve over the spaghetti squash.
ENJOY!
