I tried Spaghetti Squash



Recommended Posts

After watching "Hungry Girl" do a whole show on Pasta Swaps, I finally went and bought Spaghetti Squash.

I steamed it in microwave for 10 minutes after cutting it in half. I used Amy's Organic creamy Tomato Soup about 3/4 can, and 4 Light LC cheese wedges and 2 tbsp of FF sour cream and made a creamy Tomato sauce. I added RF parm on top. I pulled the "spaghetti" from the skin and mixed in my sauce.

I have to say it was good! It makes a lot too. I could throw chicken on top or Turkey meatballs and have a really nice meal.

Low carb, Low fat and filling. This was sort of a combination of HG ideas and it was very good. I like the Soup as a base as it is sweet and I prefer that.

Sounds pretty good. Suggest substituting PLAIN (not flavored) low or no fat greek yogurt for the FF sour cream. Tastes almost the same and more Protein.< /p>

Good idea with the yogurt to up Protein. I even fed it to my 9 year old niece and she liked it. She asked why the Sgetti was crunchy. I told her I can't make Pasta too soft b/c of my band. LOL

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
