Spaghetti Squash?

[Lilee84 648]

I've been craving it for weeks but every time I go to the store they're out... I finally found it today and I'm eating some now and I'm curious, is there any nutritional value to it?

I believe so. I would google it. Are you having a Protein w/ it like chicken?

[Lilee84 648]

I had my Protein while I was waiting for the squash to cook.

Depending on how you cook it and what you put on it...a cup of plain spaghetti squash is like 45 calories, 1g Protein, 10 g carbohydrates and some Fiber. It does have some good Vitamins and Calcium, but it also has good cartenoids, that are good for the body in producing Vitamin A that helps fight off disease. It's a superior alternate to pasta/spaghetti.

A nice thick marinara on some baked spaghetti squash is delish!

Thanks! I baked it and sprinkled a little parmesan cheese on top. Deee-licious!

I have a great weight watchers receipe that uses some ground turkey, Tomato, garlic, spices and some mozzarella cheese on top. It was delicious and it is like eating Pasta without all the carbs. If you are interested let me know and I will post to you.

One of several sites to help look up nutritional info.

Is the texture of the spaghetti squash similar to reg spaghetti? I am not into veggies that much, but I've heard it's a good substitute and the pics of it look a lot like spaghetti. I am curious and may try it if I can find it in stores around here.

I never see it in stores but will keep on the look out. I'm very interested in trying this since I used to love eating spaghetti with homemade sausage meatballs.
