    Spaghetti Sqaush is interesting. It's a huge yellow sqaush that you cut open and place in the oven for 45-50 minutes. After it's cooked you can run a fork through the inside and noodle like squash is the result.

    It is pleasant tasting as long as you add salt, pepper, spaghetti or garlic sauce on top. It's about 3-4g net carbs for 2-3 ounces. MFP has it in it's database.
  • Thankyou! Is that what we call a butternut squash?

    Butternut squash is more oblong, spaghetti squash is bright yellow and round

    If you can't get spaghetti squash, Slim Pasta and other brands make some ultra low carb pasta (not Dreamfields style).
