Smoky Grilled Spaghetti Squash with Grilled Marinara Sauce

About the Recipe: Grilling the spaghetti squash adds a summertime light smoky flavor.  Serve it as a main dish with thick ‘n chunky Grilled Marinara Sauce and some shredded Parmesan cheese. Adding a fresh salad and crisp garlic bread makes a delightful summer meal.

Cook’s Note:  Microwaving the squash makes it easier to cut in half and remove the seeds. Final cooking on the grill improves the flavor and ease of removing squash strands.
