About Spaghetti squash with meat sauce

Spaghetti Squash with Meat Sauce is a wholesome, low-carb alternative to traditional pasta dishes. Rooted in American cuisine with Italian influences, it features tender, golden strands of roasted spaghetti squash topped with a rich and savory meat sauce typically made from ground beef or turkey, tomatoes, garlic, onion, and Italian herbs. High in fiber and vitamins A and C, spaghetti squash is a nutritious base that pairs perfectly with the protein-packed meat sauce, providing sustained energy and supporting muscle health. Lower in calories and carbohydrates than pasta, this dish is ideal for those managing weight or blood sugar levels. However, its healthiness can vary depending on the amount of added oil, cheese, or processed ingredients in the sauce. By using lean meats and fresh ingredients, it remains a balanced and delicious option for a hearty yet nourishing meal.
