Baked spaghetti squash is a nutritious and versatile dish often enjoyed in Italian-inspired meals or as a healthy alternative to pasta. This recipe highlights the natural sweetness of spaghetti squash, which is baked until tender and scraped into thin, noodle-like strands. Commonly paired with marinara sauce, fresh herbs, and sometimes cheese or lean protein, it delivers a satisfying and wholesome meal. Low in calories and carbs but rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber, spaghetti squash supports digestion and immunity while catering to gluten-free and low-carb diets. Unlike traditional pasta, it has a naturally lower glycemic index, making it a smart choice for managing blood sugar levels. However, toppings like heavy cream or excessive cheese can add saturated fat, so lighter accompaniments are ideal for maintaining its healthful profile. Baked spaghetti squash is a delicious way to enjoy comfort food with nutritional benefits.
