Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons parsley
2 tablespoons basil
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Grated Parmesan

Preparation

Cut the spaghetti squash with a sharp knife by removing the top and then cut vertically down through the center, leaving two halves.
Scoop out the seeds and spread olive oil onto the inside of the squash and place facedown on a baking sheet to roast at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes.
While the squash is cooking you can chop up your parsley and basil and begin to melt the butter into a small pan.
Add a drizzle of oil and the minced garlic once the butter has melted. W
hen the saute' becomes fragrant, you can then add the fresh herbs.
When the squash is fork tender, separate the ribbons with a fork and add directly to the herb mixture.
Add a dash of salt and pepper to taste and then top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Add as little or as much cheese as you like, it's up to you!
