If you know me you know I L.O.V.E spaghetti squash!!! It's a great alternative to pasta (which is my downfall since I'm a carboholic) & it's a vegetable (which I'm very selective on which ones I eat since I hate most veggies lol).
So for me spaghetti squash is a win win. However cooking it the same way every time can get boring so I am always looking for ways to spice it up.
Came across this Au gratin recipe online & thought I would give it a try! So easy to make & delicious at that. This will be a keeper in my weekly meal plan.
