No-Pasta, Pasta
If your gluten free, here is a great way to have pasta with out any grain at all. It's also a great one for kids and big family's, cause it's cheap and easy to make. Now lets talk about taste, it's great.
Serve with a salad and your serving a great meal.

Ingredients   serves 4 (depends on the size of the squash)
One spaghetti squash

Directions

Place the squash in the oven on a cookie sheet.  Let cook, one hour or till a fork can pick right through. (hint:  Cooking the squash can be done the day before)

Once cooked, allow to cool to finger handling temperature. Then when cool enough. Use a fork to scrape the squash away from the skin and into a serving bowl.  Separate all the pasta like strands, so the look like pasta.

Once the Tomato sauce (below) is done and still in the pan. Toss into the easy tomato sauce shown below.  Stir and make sure the squash is heated through.
