Ok people....I just LOVE pasta but I know it's got to get out of my life. What does a person like me replace that enjoyable pleasure with? SPAGHETTI SQUASH! OMGoodness! YUMMMOOO and only 186 calories for HALF of the Squash (Squash only...add calories for any sauce). So here's how to do it....it's SUPER EASY!
Ingredients:
1 Spaghetti Squash
2 Tbsp Olive oil
Italian seasoning or fresh basil
2 cloves crushed garlic
Salt and Pepper
Pre-heat oven to 425. Cover a baking dish or lipped cooking sheet with foil and lightly spray with a little non-stick spray. Cut Squash in half (Lengthwise down). Use a spoon and take out the seeds. Brush Olive Oil on each half. Sprinkle salt and pepper, Basil/Italian Seasoning, and crushed garlic onto each half. Bake in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes until soft. Let squash sit for a few minutes and then use a fork to shred out the soft squash. Cover in whatever sauce you choose (just add those calories to the total).
Super yummy! My husband loved it so much he has even requested it for all future pasta dishes! If you knew my hubby....you'd know how UTTERLY AMAZING that really is! HA! He's a straight shooting Meat and Potato kind of guy! It really is super delish with none of the Pasta calorie guilt! PERFECT! Enjoy! =)
