Whether you’re cutting carbs or just inviting more vegetables into your meals, spaghetti squash is a great food to try. Once it’s baked in the oven, just run the tines of a fork through the cooked squash to create what looks like noodles—hence the name spaghetti squash! Top it with marinara sauce and fresh herbs, or some melted butter and Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, or your favorite pasta sauce, and you’ve got the makings of a fun and healthy side dish!
