Spaghetti marinara, but the spaghetti is a type of squash, "Spaghetti squash" (Cucurbita pepo subsp. pepo), that looks like spaghetti
Ay that sauce looks good. Used to throw a fit when ma made squash instead of pasta, but it looks healthy and fresh
Spaghetti squash is popular with low-carb diets as a pasta substitute.
Everytime I try this it's disgusting. Tastes nothing like actual spaghetti. Just tastes like a plate full of cabbage with spaghetti sauce on it.
That said, I did find that spaghetti squash jap chae is pretty good. Doesn't have the right texture as actual jap chae but the sauce carries it, and it works better.
Cabbage? have they already gone rotten?
Normally spaghetti squash is slightly sweet and doesn't taste or smell anything like cabbage
Yeah people take the name literally and it doesnβt turn out well. I find using it to replace noddies in a heavy noodles casserole actually works, cause itβs baked and soaks in the flavor for a long time and you can make them extra saucy to make up for it too. Thereβs good recipes for it, but as a literal substitute for spaghetti noodles in sauce plopped on top spaghetti? Thatβs not a good recipe
I've never been overfond of it myself, but I like it better with some cheese or meat in the sauce.
Fuck yea. Easier to make this "from scratch" than actual pasta, too, and tastes almost the same. Personally, I like this better because the texture of the "noodles" has a slight crunch to it while still being "al dente."
Besides low-carb diets, it's obviously a great sub for gluten-free folks as well.
My lazy ass loves that they can be their own bowl. It's a 'set and forget' kind of meal
Thanks for adding that to my toolbelt, lmao. Why did I never use the bowl nature put right there in front of me?!
Spaghetti squash is great!
Love spaghetti squash. It's a touch too sweet for me to be eating it regularly, but otherwise, hell yea.
