Marinara Spaghetti Squash
Some days, I am in the mood for something very simple to eat. The hardest part about this spaghetti squash recipe is cutting open the spaghetti squash!

To make the spätzle, or egg noodles, you only need a few ingredients: flour, eggs, salt and water. I love how fresh the noodles taste when you serve them hot from the pot. They also keep fine for use during…
