Sophia Loren is attributed with this quote, although I think she stole it from my family. Of course, we’re not quite as photogenic. Or as thin. Or as rich. Or as famous. Other than that, people often confuse her with being a member of our family. You can certainly see the resemblance…..
Following Thanksgiving, an entire week of cooking and eating if you play your cards right, culinary inspiration may be stifled. That’s why this two ingredient dish is sure to tantalize your taste buds and help your restore your girlish figure. If this doesn’t work, support the economy by purchasing elastic waist band pants. The retailers will thank you.
Superb Spaghetti Squash
1 Spaghetti Squash
1 Quart tomato juice or sauce
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut spaghetti squash in half. Scoop out seeds and discard, then spray or brush both sides of both halves with olive oil. Place cut side down on a cookie sheet, and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. If a fork can easily pierce the flesh, remove to a baking rack to cool. If not fork tender, return to oven for five minutes and check again. Repeat until fork tender. Allow squash to cool for 30 minutes. Preheat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Remove spaghetti squash from shell. Add to skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add tomato juice or sauce. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Season to taste.
Suggested garnish: Shaved Parmesan cheese
