For many people with dietary restrictions like a low-carbohydrate diet or gluten free lifestyle, pasta can be one thing you crave. But here’s a low calorie, gluten free and grain free way to enjoy pasta: replace noodles with spaghetti squash. It’s a deliciously stringy way to eat more vegetables and reduce your carbohydrates and at only 37 calories per 4 ounce serving it’s great for those of us watching our waste-lines too! Look for a firm spaghetti squash with an even pale yellow color and no soft spots. Bake the whole, uncut squash on a lines baking sheet at 350 degrees for 60-80 minutes. Allow it to cool for 20 minutes and then slice it open. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then scrape the flesh out into stringy noodles, and serve. You can serve it with traditional spaghetti sauces or try it with coconut oil and cinnamon.
