Spaghetti: Skip the noodles, eat the squash!

Hey,

I hope you are doing great!

Tonight, I made spaghetti squash again and it came out awesome so I thought you would want to hear about this.

This time I didn't cut the squash in half like many cooking methods call for.

I just stabbed it a hundred times with a knife all over and then baked it at 400 degrees for 1 hour and 25 minutes.

Pulled it out and split it down the middle and it literally just fell apart.

I scraped the seeds to the side and then used a fork to pull out the "spaghetti noodles".

Put the squash noodles in a bowl and added tomato paste, garlic, sea salt and baked chicken.

Stirred it all up and it was great.

The seeds will be dried out overnight and lightly salted to eat tomorrow.

They are super good for you too.

That is a simple and super easy way to cook spaghetti squash.

Forget the spaghetti noodles and try the spaghetti squash.

Tastes almost identical and it is so much healthier.

You can use your favorite spaghetti recipes and you will be surprised at how close it comes to the real unhealthy thing.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Avoid pasta with spaghetti squash

If you are trying to get in shape, pasta may not be the way to go. Natural unprocessed carbs are far more beneficial for you as fuel for the human machine. Spaghetti squash is a great substitute for pasta and regular spaghetti. 

To prepare a spaghetti squash, simply cut it in half and scrape out the guts. I take the seeds out of the guts and eat them as well.

Then you put the pieces face down in your baking sheet. 

Then I bake it at 400 degrees ( I just bake everything at 400), for 1 hour and 10 min or until it is soft. Once it is cooked, I take it out and let it cool for a few minutes. Then take a fork and scrape out your healthy spaghetti. 

You can make your own healthy sauce or use it however you want.

Give it a try if you haven't. There are many different ways to cook it. This is just how I do it. Simple and effective. Hope this helps. Keep exploring new ways to include healthy and fit into your life.
