Spaghetti Squash – God’s Gift to the Low Carb Diet

Best treat this week in your CSA box? The Spaghetti Squash! Why? Because you cut it in half lengthwise, scoop out all seeds, submerge in boiling water for 20-25 minute (until fork can easily pull the squash into strand), then drain and run cold water over squash to stop cooking process. Use fork to scrape the cook squash out of its rind, fluffing and separating the pulp into spaghetti-like stands. YOU NOW HAVE A VEGETABLE PASTA SUBSTITUTE THAT IS BETTER THAN PASTA!

A house hold favorite recipe is George Stella’s Anaheim-Shrimp-Scampi. (This recipe works well to substitute in chicken vs. seafood as well)  We highly recommend his recipe book ‘George Stella’s Livin’ Low Carb’. All his recipes are winners.
