Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squash is a fantastic substitute for pasta. It's easy to cook, lower in carbs and calories, and high in fiber and other important nutrients. One cup of cooked spaghetti squash has 40 calories and 10 grams carbohydrate. Spaghetti squash also has 2 grams fiber per one-cup serving and is a good source of calcium, potassium, magnesium, and niacin.
Once cooked, it is easy to scrape into spaghetti-like strands that have nearly the same texture, flavor, and color of spaghetti. This non-starchy vegetable is a helpful substitution or addition to pasta dishes to increase fiber and nutrients.
