My co-worker and I were talking about Shirataki noodles that I am going to try out tonight to try to get my pasta fix without all the carbs and calories. She asked if I have ever heard of Spaghetti squash. She says she makes meat spaghetti with it and can barely tell the difference. I Googled it online and found a variety of recipes to utilize this variety of squash.

You cook the squash and take a fork to shred out noodles.

Here is one recipe that I found :)

If you have tried this and have a recipe that you like...please share. Or if you have other noodle replacement options share those as well...my weakness is pasta!!!

    I LOVE Spaghetti Squash! It's so versatile and delicious! I just bought two today to use during the week. I LOVE Pad Thai and I'm going to try to use it in place of Rice Noodles. Bulk it up with some broccoli and tofu!

    I bought my first spaghetti squash to try out this week. It's on the menu for Wednesday, and I'm hoping it turns out well. What I've been using to get my pasta fix is zucchini. Sliced very thinly it makes a nice spaghetti noodle substitute, and then I usually mix it with veggies and 1 serving of actual spaghetti. Pretty yummy, but I am looking forward to trying the spaghetti squash.
