directions

Preheat oven 350 degrees.

Scrape out the spaghetti squash into bowl (should be stringing) allow to cool.
Drain any liquid off squash, Add 2 eggs, parmareggio cheese, salt, and pepper mix.
In a preheated frying pan add pat of butter, Place small amounts of squash mixture flattening in to small (size of your palm) pancakes (too big can't flip them).
Fry carefully till both sides are golden brown, remove set on side in a warm oven.
***Please note Spaghetti Squash Pancakes can be made ahead of time and reheated in oven.
At same time - Place Ragu in a pot and bring to temperature slowly.
Take shrimp seasoned with salt and pepper sauté in a pan with garlic till pink and non translucent cooked.
Lay baby arugula on plate, sprinkle with balsamic vinegar.
