Who does not like pasta??

I recently had a alfredo craving so I decided to try a recipe I found online using spaghetti squash.

1 Spaghetti Squash
1 (10.75 ounce) can Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Celery Soup (regular or 98% Fat Free)
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Onion Chopped
As much Chives you prefer - chopped
1 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp chopped parsley (or more- what you prefer)
1 tsp olive oil

Cut spaghetti squash length ways, take out seeds, and place face down on a lightly oiled cookie sheet. Bake for 30 mins.

In a medium sauce pan brown onion, chives over low heat with ALITTLE olive oil.Stir the soup, water and milk . Heat over medium heat to a boil, then add cheese, spices etc.

After 30 mins take out the spaghetti squash and scrap with a fork to create the spaghetti strings. Combine with sauce over alittle heat in a seperate pan. Serve and enjoy!

    you can cook the spaghetti squash in the microwave. Poke holes in it (like a microwaved baked potato), cook whole for about 6-10 min, let cool, then scrape with a fork. How long depends on how big it is.

    easy alfredo sauce:
    8 oz light cream cheese
    1/3 stick butter
    2 C milk (skim is fine)
    6 oz parm cheese (the shredded kind, not the powdery kind)
    garlic
    pepper
    italian seasoning

    Melt butter, add cream cheese, garlic pepper and seasoning. Use whisk to get out lumps then whisk in milk (can use more or less depending on how thick you want it). AFter all incorporated, add parm cheese and melt. Voila!

    The sauce is easily enough for 2 or 3 squash. I usually blacken some chicken and add some steamed broccoli for a full meal.

    The sauce can also be used with spinach for a nice creamed spinach.
