Squash It

Posted Jun 24 08 5:15am

I used to love spaghetti squash years ago. I would cook it, add spaghetti sauce, and thought it was great.  I wanted my kids to try it, but figured they may be a little apprehensive about eating it straight, so I mixed it with our spaghetti noodles.   If you have never prepared spaghetti squash, it’s really quite simple.

The shredded squash can then be eaten as spaghetti noodles. Other things you can add would be a little butter and salt, a little mozzarella, some alfredo sauce. IGet creative! Most squash does not have an overwhelming taste and can take on the flavor of what you are adding to it, with very little calories.  42 for a whole cup.  Our goal is to find food with more nutrients per calorie. 

Did the kids like it?  They didn’t notice that I added anything.  My kids ate it, although my 2 year old niece spit it out.
