This is a big deal in Honduras around the holidays. It's so tasty that even after eating 4 or 5 tamales you can still make room for this sweet but light dessert!

Quarter the spaghetti squash and remove seeds. Boil or bake it until it flakes off like spaghetti and is tender when you put a fork in it. Scoop out the squash from the shell and put in a sauce pan. Add water to barely cover the squash and add brown sugar to taste (anywhere from 1/4 cup +? depending on your sweet tooth and the size of the squash. Let it cook in the sugar water until the water turns a little bit more syrupy and the squash seems to have absorbed the flavor.

Serve warm and enjoy!
