About Spaghetti squash with red sauce

Spaghetti Squash with Red Sauce is a nutritious, low-carb alternative to traditional pasta dishes, popular in Western cuisine. This simple dish features strands of roasted spaghetti squash topped with a vibrant marinara sauce made from tomatoes, garlic, onions, and herbs. Rich in fiber and vitamins like A, C, and B6, spaghetti squash is a great option for those seeking lighter fare while still satisfying cravings for Italian-inspired flavors. The tomato-based sauce provides antioxidants like lycopene, which supports heart health, while minimizing saturated fats often found in creamy sauces. For added protein, lean ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based substitutes can be incorporated. While naturally low-calorie and nutrient-dense, watch for added sugars or excessive sodium in pre-made sauces. Ideal for weight management and gluten-free diets, this dish is a wholesome choice that doesn’t compromise on taste or texture.
