Wherever I look, Instagram, Pinterest, and other food blogs, spaghetti squash seems to be quite the popular dish. I myself can’t even believe it has taken me this long to try it.

Spaghetti squash is the perfect alternative if you want a substitute for spaghetti. It offers plenty of vitamins, minerals, and accounts for only 42 calories in a 10 cup serving. This truly is a great substitute for those who wish to try an alternative style of spaghetti. Fortunately spaghetti squash is usually available in most supermarkets year round and is extremely simple to prepare.

Ingredients:

• Spaghetti Squash
• Olive Oil
• Salt
• Pepper

Preparation:

• Preheat the oven to 400F
• Cut both ends off the spaghetti Squash.
• Cut it in half end to end.
• Coat both pieces of the squash, front and back, in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Put both pieces on a baking tray with the inside facing up.
• Bake for 35 min.
• Once out of the oven, pass a fork through the inside of the squash and it should separate into stands.
• Top with your favorite spaghetti sauce and enjoy!

Bon Appétit!
