Spaghetti squash is one of the easiest vegetables to prepare without adding fat in the cooking process. Each squash is filled with folic acid, potassium, vitamin A, and beta carotene - and best of all it is a low calorie food. Servings: 4
Here's what you need...
1 spaghetti squash
1 Tablespoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Cut squash in half and scoop out the seeds and fibers. With a fork pierce the squash skin a few times.
Fill a microwave safe dish with 1/2 inch of water. Place the squash cut side down in the dish.
Microwave on high for 10-20 minutes or until the skin gives easily under pressure (be sure to use an oven mitt, as the squash get very hot.) Let stand for a few minutes.
With a fork, scrape the pasta-like insides into a medium bowl. Mix in basil and garlic salt.
Nutritional Analysis: One serving equals: 42 calories, 0g fat, 10g carbohydrate, 2g fiber, and 1g protein.
