Garlic Herb Spaghetti Squash     

Ingredients:
1 small spaghetti squash
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon parsley
Salt and fresh cracked black pepper
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. With a sharp knife, slice off 1/2-inch from the ends of the spaghetti squash. Then stand the squash up on one of the ends to stabilize it, and cut the squash in half, top to bottom. Scoop out any seeds and stringy bits inside, oil the cut sides of the squash, and place the squash halves cut-side down on the lined sheet pan. Poke the tops of the halves with the tip of a sharp knife. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until you can easily poke the sides of the squash with a fork. Remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Then using the tines of a fork, scrape out the "spaghetti"-like strands of the squash to a bowl.

Heat a large sauté pan with the butter and the garlic over medium-low heat. When garlic becomes fragrant, add Italian seasoning, broth, and salt. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce a bit.

Add spaghetti squash strands and toss well. Sprinkle in the parmesan cheese, parsley and adjust seasoning if necessary.
