Ingredients for desired filling

Use one large spaghetti squash cut in half lengthwise on cookie sheet, rub with vegetable oil, then bake for 45-60 minutes, till tender. Allow to cool. Carefully scrape out seeds, and then remove strands of squash into a bowl. Toss gently with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Pat the squash down into a rectangle on cutting board, until approx. 4 inches wide by 7 inches long. At one end, place desired ingredients -- today we are using roasted Portabella mushrooms, feta, roasted peppers and zucchini slaw.
