Easy, Peasy, Simple Pasta Dish

Choose firm, brightly-skinned squash that’s heavy for its size and without cuts or bruises. Cook pasta by boiling water and preparing it according to the package directions. They can be tough to cut, so get ready to put in some effort!

Don’t toss the seeds from spaghetti squash (I accidentally did this). Instead, wash and roast them for a crunchy treat. Just season with salt, pepper, olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce. They’re perfect for homemade trail mixes and nut blends.
