Spaghetti Squash

Simple Side Dish...or Main Dish
This Looks Like Spaghetti After It Is Shredded

1 Spaghetti Squash 
Salt / Pepper 
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Parmesan Cheese

Bring a large pot of water to a boil 
In the meantime cut the squash in half 
Scrape out the seeds
Place squash in boiling water, cut side down
Boil till tender about 15- 20 minutes
Once squash is tender remove from the water 
Let it cool for a few minutes (enough to be able to handle it) 
Shred the squash with a fork into a bowl
Season with salt / pepper to taste 
Toss with extra virgin olive oil 
Generously top with Parmesan cheese and a few extra grinds of pepper
