10 Best Spaghetti Squash Recipes

Replace high-carb pasta noodles with fresh veggies makes for healthy eating!

There’s a new noodle in town, and it’s much healthier than traditional pasta! According to the Dole Nutrition Handbook, substituting zucchini squash for noodles in your favorite pasta dish saves you 120 calories cup for cup. The flavor is perfect too – somewhere in between butternut squash and zucchini – so it won’t overpower your sauce.

Squash recipes are equally delicious and nutritious. Large amounts of vitamin A in squash promote healthy vision and are proven to strengthen skin after exposure to UV rays, preventing wrinkles and age spots. Vitamins A and C are good for the immune system and improve digestion. Squash is a source of beta-cryptoxanthin, which is correlated with improved joint health and a lower risk of lung and prostate cancer. To bring all of these wonderful benefits to your diet, we’ve compiled the 10 Best Spaghetti Squash Recipes for you and your family to enjoy.
