Spaghetti Squash

No, it's not a substitute for pasta. It doesn't taste anything like pasta but it's a very nice squash dish. It saves a great many calories and carbs over pasta. Diabetic diets can become rather boreing and I found this a very nice change. It says it will serve 6 and it might if you use it as small side dish servings. I got 3 dinner size serving from it.
