If you stored your home grown spaghetti squash or picked up several at the harvest festival, you are probably about ready to cook them, at least one of them anyway.

For a delicious gluten free dinner, try this recipe:

Cut your squash in half and bake at 350 degrees in a shallow pan with about 1 C. water for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. 

When it is just about done saute an onion in olive oil and butter.  When the onion is translucent add four diced garlic and continue to heat for just about  a minute. 

Add the Gia Russa Artichoke pasta sauce.  Turn the heat to simmer, and remove the squash from the oven.  Then using a spoon scoop out only the seeds and discard.  Then with fork pull the spaghetti squash strands out of the squash and add to the sauce.

Serve with toasted rice bread.  Serves four.
