Skinni Spaghetti Squash
Cooking Spaghetti Squash is something that I have wanted to try for a while, and it is so
easy that I am kicking myself I did not try it sooner! Spaghetti Squash is the
perfect low calorie, low carb option for spaghetti noodles. Generally I do not
cook much pasta, but now that I have a sub for noodles I will be cooking pasta
dishes a lot more (this makes my husband super happy)!
Ingredients
1.
Spaghetti Squash
2.
Spray Olive Oil
3.
Sea Salt
Directions
1.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
2.
Cut the spaghetti squash in half (long ways-in
terms of paper folding-hot dog length)
3.
Scrape out the seeds.
4.
Place the halves of squash rind side up on a lined
cookie sheet with foil.
5.
Spray the squash with olive oil and sprinkle
some sea salt on.
6.
Bake the spaghetti squash for about 40 minutes.
Just look for it to brown slightly.
7.
After the squash has cooled for a few minutes,
use a fork to scrape out the spaghetti squash. You will be amazed at how the
squash comes out in these perfect little strands that look just like spaghetti
(I know I was)!
8.
Top with your favorite pasta topping and enjoy!
*Spaghetti squash has about 41 calories per cup, 0 grams of
fat, and 10g carbohydrates! Compare that to 1 cup of cooked spaghetti noodles
of 220 calories and 43 carbohydrates!
*I like my spaghetti squash with meat sauce, but they would
taste great with some spray butter and salt and pepper!
