Can you really substitute spaghetti squash for pasta? Why not? Who rights the rules anyway?
For all the details on how to prep the squash and for three easy recipes including Spaghetti Squash Sausage Boats and Spaghetti Squash Shrimp Scampi, check out my Zulily post here.
Some other ways to work this vegetable into your pre-existing recipes, try:
1. Sub for pasta layers in classic lasagna.
2. Try it with chicken parmesan.
3. Go ahead and work it in to your alfredo, marsala, and carbonara dinners.
4. Top it with chili.
5. Use it as a gluten-free pizza crust.
6. Mix in a casserole with sausage, peppers, and onions.
7. Combine with barbecue sauce and create meatless sliders.
8. Plate as a base for your favorite fish.
9. Toss with roasted kale leaves, olive oil, and garlic and a sprinkle of parmesan.
10. Use in addition to pasta in your favorite dishes.
I wonder if you could use it to make a fritter or pancake in the same way you would use shredded potato? Maybe mix with a little flour and egg and try it in the waffle maker? Hmmmm.
It's nice to have choices and variety and spaghetti squash can certainly be worked in to your regularly plated meals. AND, when you belong to the clean plate club like I do, you will have absolutely no guilt while feeling Fed Well!
