Here is my twist on a favorite I picked up in Italy.
Spaghetti al Peperoncini
I try not to eat pasta too much and recently discovered the joy of Spaghetti Squash.
1 squash will make enough for a large family or several meals for a small one so I freeze half after I cook it.
Pickup…
1/2 of a Spaghetti Squash
5 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 tbs dry red chilli peppers (like the ones you put on pizza)
2 tsp of minced garlic
Bake the spaghetti squash. Here is a great article on how to prep and bake the squash. I cut mine in half, scrap out the seeds and bake at 375 until I can stick a fork in it. Once you have it cooked and “noodles” created, by scrapping it up with a fork, put it to the side. Saute the olive oil and garlic, adding in the chilli peppers. Once the garlic is golden brown toss in the “spaghetti” until coated. Enjoy!
