The secret is that the noodles you see are actually strands of spaghetti squash. I made this a long time ago and decided to give it another try. It's super easy. After putting the halved squash in the microwave, I just shredded it onto the plate. The best part? 1 cup of pasta has 200 calories. 1 cup of squash has 40! :)
I loved it. Chris? Not so much. But keep in mind that he is REALLY not a vegetable guy. So if you like vegetables (or at least can tolerate them), you should give this a try. :)

YUM! I think I just might give this a try :)
looks good to me! i love spaghetti squash!
Do you just drag a fork across the squash to shred it?
Yes, you just drag the fork. The directions say to cook it in the microwave (split in half, cut side down) for 5-7 min. in some water. I found it took over 20 to get it pretty mushy, like noodles. Oven might be better.
I've heard of this but was intimidated to try - sounds like it's not too hard. Yes, much healthier! So were the kids fooled - did they eat it?
