Grilled Spaghetti Squash

What do you get when the autumn season weather lingers a bit longer, yet the harvests of winter are beginning to appear? Grilled winter squash. That's right - take a vegetable that's meant for the winter seasons, and prepare it using an outdoor barbecue or grill, the preferable cooking method of the summer season. Sound a bit ironic? Who cares, it certainly is tasty!
Spaghetti squash never fails to amaze me. You cook a vegetable, then pull a fork along the cooked flesh and it comes out in strands and looks exactly like spaghetti! No other squash does that. You could definitely fool people into thinking it is actually pasta, especially if you serve it with a pasta sauce. You can cook squash just as you would pasta; al dente, soft, or well done.
This dish is really simple to prepare, and the squash does not even require prior cooking. Simple wash the squash, cut it in half, and scoop out the seeds. Brush it with a little oil, and place it cut-side down on the barbecue. Cook it as you like it! Then pull it off the grill and grab a fork to pull it into spaghetti strands.
