Mediterranean Veggie Marinara Spaghetti Squash
Mediterranean Veggie Marinara Spaghetti Squash. These noodles do not taste like regular pasta, but are a healthier alternative. They do have a light squash taste, but will perfectly absorb any sauce and flavors you add to them. Cooking time for the spaghetti squash may vary, depending on its size and type of oven used. One 3 lb spaghetti squash can feed generously 2 adults.
