I am a self-proclaimed spaghetti squash addict [ a pesto version can be found here ]. My stepmom, Julie initially got me hooked to the veggie & now my friend, Mike makes it for me on the reg. The main reason I am obsessed with it? It tastes just like pasta but only contains ten carbs per serving, as opposed to typical carbohydrate-filled noodles [ click here for more nutritional information ]. Some favorite past additions to the squash are tomato slices, broccolini, red chili flakes, pesto, chicken, arugula, olives, bell peppers and of course, squeezed Meyer lemons. Yummm…bye! I am off to have leftovers ; ).

  3. I loved your recipe, adding tons of vegetables to a pasta dish, really healthy. I made a more fattening version adding some trimmed aubergine where along with a lot of cheese, added an extra flavor and feeling to the recipe!
