Healthy Garlic Shrimp Spinach Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Slice the spaghetti squash right down the middle so that you have 2 halves. Preheat oven to 425 & pour the 1/4 cup water into a shallow baking pan. Pierce the skin of the squash all over w/ a good strong fork. Place squash halves side by side in pan facing down, Bake squash 15-20 mins. Take out of oven, turn 1 of the squashes over & using a fork scrape out the seeds and pulp. Scrape to see if strands of "pasta" come out easily. If so they're done. If not, put back in oven, cook another 10 mins.
