Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti
Wanted to share a recipe with you guys who may be watching your calorie and/or fat intake.
Not sure if you've tried this...but, I figured a way to make the spaghetti my family loves, without all the fat and calories!
I used Classico Spaghetti sauce (it has 1/2 the calories and fat of reg. spaghetti sauce), ground turkey breast, garlic, olives and mushrooms. I used spaghetti squash in place of the spaghetti noodles.
YUM-O! You have to try it.
Edited to add: meant to tell you the nutritional info: 281 calories, 3 fat, 6 fiber!!!

Re: Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti
I LOVE spaghetti squash. I often use it as a dessert. I bake mine with butter, cinnamon and sugar - and it's Oh-so-yummy!!!
But, I have eaten it as a main spaghetti course as well. I think it's the best veggie out there!!

Re: Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti
So how exactly do you cook a spaghetti squash? I've always wanted to try it.

Re: Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti
It's VERY simple. There are two ways to cook it: (it looks like a large oval squash, about the side of a cantelope, but more oval in shape)
1. Either cut in in half lengthwise and de-seed. Put face down on baking sheet and cook in oven at 375 for 30-45 minutes (until outside is soft and inside can be gently pierced with a fork).
2. You can simply pierce the outside of the veggie and stick it whole in the microwave. Cook on high heat for 6 minutes per pound. (I had to cook mine for about 15 minutes the other night.) Once the outside is soft, remove from microwave and let cool 5 minutes. Cut in 1/2 lengthwise and de-seed. Scrape inside of veggie with a fork and it will shread like spaghetti noodles!
I will have to try the dessert trick! Wow! Does anyone have any other ideas for using spag. squash? My kids loved it (which is shocking!)

Re: Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti
My absolute favorite also. Dh likes it as a side dish, but I like it w/ marinara sauce or the equivalent. I am going to have to try it as a dessert.
Matter of fact I have one at home I told DH we had to eat b4 it goes bad.
