SO HOW'D IT GO?
Spaghetti Squash is one of my favorites! You can speed up cooking time by nuking the whole squash in the microwave for 3 minutes, splitting the squash in half, placing face down in a glass dish with a bit of water, and microwaving it again for about 15 minutes. Much easier! :-*
I added two sprigs of rosemary to each half of the squash, along with the garlic and onions. The rosemary gave the dish a woody, earthy flavor. I never tried the recipe without the rosemary, and honestly, I could not imagine it without it. Without the rosemary, it seems that the dish would be lacking good flavor.
