Recipe for

Spaghetti Squash

A Healthy Alternative to Pasta 

Even My Kids Enjoy!

When cooked, the stringy flesh of the spaghetti squash can be pulled apart to form slender strands that resembles spaghetti. It has a mild taste and crisp texture.  It has a low calorie count -- an 8-ounce serving contains only about 75 calories.  A 2-ounce serving of spaghetti pasta has a whopping 200 calories!
