Spaghetti Squash

So my friend Ilanna gave me a recipe to try at home called spaghetti squash. At first I was confused about the name is it squash and spaghetti or what but she told me its squash that looks like spaghetti once its cooked. It sounded interesting and good so over the weekend I decided to try this dish as a side for my baked salmon dish.

I went to the grocery to buy squash and there it was a squash that is called "spaghetti squash" now I know why its called that way because after you bake the squash and take the filling out of the squash it does look like little strands of pasta, more like angel pasta. In olive oil, I sauteed the garlic, onions, tomatoes and after that added it onto the spaghetti squash, seasoned with pepper, garlic salt, feta cheese and tossed them together.

Jaime, our guests Kat & John liked my baked salmon and spaghetti squash dish and I have to add that Kat mixed the caesar salad (thanks for bringing it Kip). I thought it was a nice and healthy meal.
