Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti Squash is a great low-carb substitution for pasta! It contains about 42 calories and 10 grams of carbs per cup, versus pasta’s 210 calories and 42 grams of carbs per cup. And it's super easy to make!

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut the squash in half the long way.



Then, scrape out all of the seeds. Place the halves with the cut side facing upward on a baking sheet.



I sprinkle a little bit of Mrs. Dash in each half.  You can also do a little bit of salt and pepper instead.  Then bake for 45-60 minutes.  Let cool for a few minutes, then scrape out the center of each half.  It should come out like stringy noodles!




It looks just like spaghetti!


I usually eat it like pasta by adding a little bit of sauce (I use a low sodium sauce that has natural ingredients), red peppers and broccoli.  You can eat it however you'd like though!



It makes a lot so save the leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days!
