THM spaghetti

THM Spaghetti         S

Regular pasta is not on the THM eating plan. Therefore to have a form of spaghetti, you can use spaghetti squash as a substitute for the noodles. Just cut the squash down the middle lengthwise.

Using a spoon, scrape out the seeds and middle part:

Put the squash in a baking dish face down and add a little water:

Bake at 4:50 until tender. The outer shell will be soft when you push on it.

Using a fork, loosen the flesh of the squash. (An added benefit for me is that I can put the outer shell in my composter.☺ )

Depending on the size of your squash, you should have enough for several meals. I add about 1/2 pound of cooked, lean ground beef to my favorite marinara sauce. We enjoy this dish with some shredded parmesan cheese on top.
