Spaghetti squash: acceptable paleo or no?

Title says it all really!

Have been gluten free 5 years, carb-cautious 2.5years. Relatively new to paleo and wondering if the spaghetti squash is off limits?

    Found sooo many good things on pinterest! My boyfriend and I (because we enjoy pasta) use spaghetti squash just like its name, spaghetti. We make a sauce filled with more veggies & meat and just top it with that!

    One of my favorite dishes is spaghetti squash, sundried tomato meatballs and pesto. You'll never miss spaghetti after trying it.
