Spaghetti Squash Crust Pie

Spaghetti Squash PieGood morning! Yup, I’m writing this post at exactly 9:23 am on Tuesday morning. Often times, I like to write my posts while enjoying my breakfast and morning coffee. “Kelly and Michael” are chatting in the background and I am starting my day with a big bowl of Blueberry Pie Overnight Oats!

Well, now that I’ve confessed that I’m sitting in my PJ’s, I’ll get on with my ramblings!

I bought a spaghetti squash a couple of weeks ago (exciting I know). Never tried spaghetti squash? The stuff is awesome. When you bake this sort of squash, the insides turn into little spaghetti like threads! It is a great veggie replacement for traditional pastas, or if you’re ever wanting to try something different from Zucchini Pasta.

note: I LOVE my zucchini pasta, and they will ALWAYS have a very special place in my heart.

Ok, so this is seriously how this recipe came to life:

Synthia’s thoughts:  I should use my spaghetti squash… My spaghetti squash is sitting right next to a pie plate… I should make a crust using my spaghetti squash…I will call it “spaghetti squash crust pie”

Deep I know, but sometimes our most random ideas lead to the most magical outcomes.
