Dinner Recipes, Pizza + Pasta Recipes, Poultry Recipes
You will be amazed at how good this low-carb spaghetti recipe is! I use spaghetti squash instead of pasta in this dish. The squash adds flavor and topped with the turkey red sauce this is a tasty grain-free meal and gluten-free meal. Spaghetti squash is a low calorie substitute for pasta. It has a mild nuttiness, but can easily take on the flavors of anything you top it with.
