Low Carb Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti Recipe

recipe Aug 02, 2023

I absolutely love Italian Food...but I also love to take care of my health and fitness so enjoying a giant bowl of pasta isn't really ideal. One of my favorite ways to get my Italian Pasta fix while also making sure I am getting a healthy meal that is packed full of nutrition is with this Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti Recipe.

The first part of this is the Spaghetti Squash. Spaghetti squash is such a great starchy vegetable because it is packed full of so many important vitamins and minerals, but it also makes for a great low carb recipe that you can use to swap out regular pasta for.

1 cup of Spaghetti Squash is around 30 calories with only 8-10g carbs! I love using this easy spaghetti squash recipe with friends and family and topping it off with a delicious homemade spaghetti sauce (another recipe video on my channel) sprinkled with some fresh cheese. This also makes for an easy healthy dinner recipe for the whole family!

Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

-Carefully using a sharp knife first slice off each end of the spaghetti squash then stand the spaghetti squash up and slice in half.

-Using your hand or a spoon scoop out all of the seeds and pulp inside.

-Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and place the spaghetti squash cut side down.

-Bake at 400F for 35-40 minutes until squash has a golden brown edge.

-Let Cool. Then using a fork scrape out the insides of the squash until it is fully scraped and looks like spaghetti.

*You can top with homemade spaghetti sauce (like the one I show you how to make in this video), cooked ground Turkey and a little Parmesan cheese for a low carb recipe for the traditional spaghetti. *You can also enjoy this as a healthy low carb side dish just add some grass-fed butter, salt and pepper.
