Spaghetti squash is one versatile veggie; it’s nutritious and tastes good too!
However, it probably doesn’t get all the love it deserves. It has a delicate buttery taste, without adding butter; making it a healthy substitute for pasta, if a person is limiting carb intake.

This is a creamy dish, that’s easy to pull together. If you’ve never cooked the squash, this is a good recipe to start with! Next time, I will be adding more garlic…
