12 Tasty Spaghetti Squash Recipes
Spaghetti Squash has its own kind of magic that can be made into endless tasty dishes. Slice one in half and it looks much like any other hard winter squash.

Alternatively, sub your squash for traditional spaghetti or use it in any number of healthy and flavorful dishes. Below are 12 tasty spaghetti squash recipes to get you started.

I made this for the first time tonight. It was so delicious… I did not miss the pasta in the lasagna. As a recently diagnosed T2 diabetic, I look for my meals to be low in carb/sugar but still familiar from the favorites I used to enjoy. This recipe did just that. I felt like I was cheating. I also love that I can freeze leftovers! That is a big plus. Try this recipe you will love it!
