RECIPE REHAB FOR PASTA
Using noodle alternatives isn’t new, but sometimes I cannot do the raw veggie noodles and I need something cooked. Enter: spaghetti squash. Literally, even the name insinuates pasta! Simply half one, remove the seeds, + roast it at 350 degrees F until forked + tender. (varies due to size.) Let it cool + fork out the “noodles” into a bowl. Choose a sauce, veggies, + protein to add to it like the one I made below and have an instant pasta.
