And now for something different

I love to to try new foods - especially vegetables. Tonight I made spaghetti squash for the first time.

The recipe is simple - halve the squash, scoop out the seeds, put it into a casserole with some water and roast it until the flesh is soft. Then, the best part, you get to rake it with a fork creating strands of "spaghetti."

I served the spaghetti squash topped with homemade tomato sauce, sweet Italian chicken sausage, and some freshly-grated Peccorino Romano.

On the side, I made a salad of roasted beets, oranges and homemade polenta croutons with an orange-garlic-balsamic vinegarette. Delicious, and different.
