This dish came out so well, it was extremely delicious and filling! If you’ve never tried spaghetti squash keep in mind it’s still a vegetable, you’re not going to get the carby taste of real pasta but you will get a taste that is mild, light in texture and is the perfect vehicle for yummy sauces such as this.
