3 tablespoons Tessemae’s Lemon Garlic Dressing
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
WHAT YOU DO
Cut Raw Method:
Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise using a large heavy chefs knife. Use the weight of the knife to cut through the squash.  Scoop out the seeds with a metal spoon. Rub with 1 tablespoon Lemon Garlic and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Roast at 400F until very tender, 30-45 minutes depending on the size. (Test the tenderness with a paring knife; it should easily pierce the squash.) Remove the squash and let cool until it’s easy to handle.
Roast Whole Method:
Pierce Spaghetti squash in a few places with a sharp knife. Set on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Roast at 400F until very tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour, minutes depending on the size. (Test the tenderness with a paring knife; it should easily pierce the squash.) Remove the squash and let cool until it’s easy to handle. Half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Both Methods:
Use a fork to scrape out the crosswise strands into a bowl. Toss with the thyme, 2 tablespoons Lemon Garlic and season with salt and pepper.
