Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti squash is a winter squash variety that develops golden, noodle-like strands when cooked, serving as a popular low-carb alternative to pasta. Its mildly sweet flesh separates into crisp-yet-tender strands after roasting or baking, providing a gluten-free base for sauces while delivering fiber, vitamin C, and B vitamins. This versatile vegetable contains approximately 75% fewer carbohydrates than traditional wheat pasta, making it particularly valuable for ketogenic and gluten-sensitive diets.
