Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Red Sauce

We try to avoid gluten around here whenever we can, and this makes a delicious alternative to pasta when you're craving spaghetti.  I like to serve it with rich, meaty spaghetti sauce.  I was shocked the first time I made this that everyone in the family not only ate it, but went back for seconds!

Ingredients

1 Spaghetti Squash, halved and cleaned out
Olive Oil
Minced Garlic (I like the crushed garlic in a jar at Trader Joe's)
Salt
Pepper

Directions

1.  Brush the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper all over the flesh of the squash. 

2.  Set your two squash halves in a pan with the flesh side up and roast in a 400 degree oven for about an hour or until the flesh is tender.

3.  When it's done roasting, use a fork to pull out the strands of "spaghetti." 

Serve with spaghetti sauce.
