Squashfredo

It's pretty much the same thing as Sharknado, but instead I combined fettuccine alfredo with spaghetti squash.

To say it was a delight is a bit of an understatement. The manfriend and I each ate our body weight in this stuff and I don't feel bad about it...well maybe a little, but only a little.

The reason I chose to put my twist on the old classic fettuccine alfredo was that we had some really good parmesan cheese in the fridge and a spaghetti squash laying around, what else was a girl to do.

You should make it too.

You will need:

Spaghetti Squash
Low Fat Milk (I use coconut milk, the kind in the carton not can, but any milk will do)
A dab of butter
Some good parmesan cheese (not the crap in the green plastic jar, some nice shredded stuff)
A pinch of flour
Garlic
Paprika
Salt and pepper

Directions:

-Cook your squash however you like to do it. Some people use the old microwave, I prefer to slice the bad boy in half and bake it in a dish in the oven with a bit of water for 30 minutes or so at 350.

-Scrape out the seeds of your squash and throw them away. Use a fork to scrape out the meat of the squash and put it in a bowl.

-Set the squash aside to cool a bit and make your sauce.

-In a sauce pan combine a little bit of butter and flour over medium heat...I used about a 1 tablespoon but it depends how much you are making. Stir the butter and flour until it forms a paste, or rue if you will.

-Next slowly whisk in your milk. Once the milk is stirred in lower the heat to just about a simmer and start slowly adding in your cheese, garlic, and seasonings to taste. The salt I used was sea salt flavored with chili peppers but you know I like everything I eat spicy so any old salt will do, or any old spices for that matter.

-Keep whisking as you mix in the cheese, now the more cheese the merrier always, but I honestly didn't use much in an effort to keep the dish somewhat healthy. I probably used around 1/4 cup and that made enough sauce for 3 giant ass servings, but really use as much as you want and it will be good.

-Continue stirring on low heat for a few minutes or so then remove sauce from heat to thicken. Serve over the squash and enjoy that shit.
