Pizza filled Spaghetti Squash Boats

Oh, my cheesy goodness!  Pizza is something I could eat every night for dinner, easily!  Being on a lower carb diet (Affiliate), this is the next best thing to enjoying pizza.  The spaghetti squash strands serve as the crust.  You can create any type of flavorful pizza take that you enjoy.  My wife like it loaded and topped with jalapenos.  Me,  I am a manly meat lover kind of guy.  But truly this is one easy recipe.  We love picking our spaghetti squash up at the local farmers market that is here in town.
