Roasted Savory Spaghetti Squash

This is very likely the easiest and best way to prepare the humble yet amazing spaghetti squash. Although I do enjoy my spaghetti squash with marinara and meatballs that Auntie M makes, I wanted something simpler and without tomato. I was inspired by my Vegetarian Times magazine. This last month's issue starred a tasty-looking parmesan pasta and I thought it would be nice to have a tasty yet simple vegan way to prepare this. After some thought, I turned to my trusty mustard and thyme sauce, added a few extra herbs, rubbed it all over the inside of the squash and roasted until dinner-ready. I was super pleased with the results and knew I had to share!

Enjoy sweet readers!
