Smokehouse Spaghetti Sqaush

This post brought to you by Handi-Foil. All opinions are my own.

This is actually a family recipe, a recipe that my mother in law makes and my husband loves. But as you can imagine with pasta this recipe is not light. So I really wanted to find a way to make this family favorite healthier.

My mother in law was at my house as I cooked this and help me, as her recipe is not written but remembered. I actually learned something new about the recipe. I’ve always added liquid smoke to the traditional recipe, but really she used to only add that when she couldn’t find smoked bacon.

This is a great dish to feed lots of people, I used the Handi-Foil 13×9 cake pan to make this family sized main course. This would be a great recipe to make and take to a a neighbor or friend who may need a day off of cooking.
