Spaghetti Squash in Red Sauce

In hopes of finding a healthy alternative to the scores of pasta this italian girl and her family eat every year I turned to spaghetti squash. At a farmers market last week I saw it and instantly knew my husband needed to try this. In the end - I picked an awfully small squash and let my husband eat the concoction while I ate leftovers. So you may want to try to get a larger size squash.
