Ingredients

• 1 spaghetti squash
• 1 15 ounce can chunky tomato sauce (I use organic Muir brand)

   Place the squash on a lightly greased baking sheet and cook for 45-50 minutes or until softened.

   Shred the squash with a fork until stringy. Tip: Hold the stem end of the squash with a towel or a glove so you don’t burn your hand while you’re shredding it.
