If you crave a pasta dish, but you don’t want to go for a heavy wheat pasta, than this Spaghetti Squash pasta is a yummy alternative!
Spaghetti Squash Pasta
Spaghetti Squash is a kind of squash that is yellow on the outside, and the inside is made out of yellow “strings” of squash. If you cut your squash in half and take out the seeds, and cook it in its skin, you will be able to to carefully scrape out the insides. You will see the strings, and the texture is a bit crunchier than normal squash. Add your favorite pasta toppings, and enjoy! I was so surprised how tasty and light this dish was, a definite delight for the vegetable lovers out there.
(This recipe has added smoked salmon, but of course you can make a vegan version as well.)
Enjoy!
Love, Lonneke
