It took one taste of this spaghetti squash spaghetti recipe for us to know that we would grow spaghetti squash in our garden forever!
It’s an excellent gluten-free, grain-free alternative to spaghetti that still provides the traditional tastes of this Italian dish.
In lieu of pasta noodles, we process whole spaghetti squash to create “noodles” of our own!
Tips for Making Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti
We pack as much nutrition into this meal as possible by tossing in handful of dehydrated carrots, celery, bell peppers, and summer squash and zucchini.
It makes the meat sauce extra hearty—and healthy.
Don’t be tempted to cook the squash right side up. It’s very important to flip them upside down as they bake!
