Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti Squash
I've discovered a great alternative to noodles! Spaghetti squash is, of course, gluten-free, but also extremely low GI. You can substitute spaghetti squash in any recipe that calls for noodles. I made spaghetti the other day and I liked it better with the squash vs. the high fiber noodles we usually have! Not only is spaghetti squash very low calorie, it is high in folic acid, potassium, vitamin A and beta carotene.
