Spaghetti Squash - More than Meets the Eye

![]() | I tried something recently and figured I should create a post on it. Spaghetti Squash. I had heard of Spaghetti Squash before, but never got around to trying it. I went to Whole Foods a short time ago looking for Butternut Squash. I didn’t find any, but instead saw some Spaghetti Squash. I figured I’d give it a try. It was super easy to make; in fact, the directions were on a sticker that was placed on the squash itself. You just cut it in half, and put the halves face down in a baking dish with a little water and bake it until it’s soft. Once it’s done, you use a fork to pull out the “strings”. It looks just like spaghetti. I knew that you could actually use it in place of spaghetti in many dishes. So I had it with Chicken Florentine, and it tasted great! |
This is a great idea for those who indulge in spaghetti dishes a little too much. Spaghetti Squash will not only save you some calories (170 in spaghetti to squash’s 42), but since it’s a vegetable, it is abundant in vitamins and minerals. It’s a wonderful way to cut unnecessary calories and sneak a little extra nutrition into your typical meal.
