I can often forfeit pasta or noodles and instead have this amazing vegetable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I say spaghetti squash, I don't mean squash that you spiral with a <\/span>5<\/strong> blade spiralizer<\/strong><\/span><\/a> like this one below (although they are super useful to have for increasing speed foods on your plate in a more interesting way)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spaghetti squash is the name of an actual variety of winter squash. Yellow and oval in shape, once cooked it has a stringy type flesh that has a texture and appearance of spaghetti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many different ways you can cook it. My favourite, is to slice it into rings and bake it in the oven. Cooking it this way, gives much longer strands, just like spaghetti, whereas, slicing it in half will give shorter strands and a longer cooking time too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
