1 large spaghetti squash
2/3 cup butter (melted)
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt

2 sprigs parsley - optional topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven, drain water out of pan, and place your spaghetti squash on a cutting board.

  • Brush the mixture onto each slice.
