    Make a delicious low-carb alternative to typical whole wheat pasta with squash. That's right, spaghetti squash. Have you tried it before?

    Last week I saw Spaghetti Squash for the first time at my local grocery store. Is it a seasonal thing? Because I had checked over the summer and they didn't have it. Anyways, you get all the great flavor of spaghetti without the calories!

    Check out my beautiful squash:

    Ingredients

    • 1 Spaghetti Squash, cut in half
    • 1 Yellow Squash, chopped
    • 2 cups Kale, stems removed, chopped
    • 1 Bell Pepper, chopped
    • 1 Cucumber, Chopped
    • 1 cup Pasta Sauce

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
    • Cut the spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, cut side down. Bake for 45 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, in a sauce pan over medium heat add the chopped veggies except for the kale. Stir occasionally adding a tablespoon or two of water as needed to keep from sticking. Cook until soft (around 5 minutes).
    • Add the sauce and bring to a simmer, then add the chopped kale. Turn down heat to keep it warm until ready.
    • Remove the spaghetti squash from the oven and carefully scrape out the insides using a fork. Divide evenly between bowls.
    • Add the veggies and sauce to each bowl and stir to combine. Enjoy!
