Spaghetti With Spaghetti Squash

"This sounds redundant but it is exactly what it is. It is very different but tastes really good. I love spaghetti squash anyway and I truly love pasta. Soooo...... It just makes a differet vegetable to have at suppertime. All you need is a protein and maybe, just maybe, a tossed salad to go along with it. Yum!"
