It's Low Cal Spaghetti!
This meal is the easiest, tastiest, lowest calorie, most filling meal I eat when I'm on "the cut". It's the closest thing to pasta without all the carbs and calories, and it tastes great! If you're like me, you get home ravenous and not in the mood to cook.
This ONLY takes 10 mins. - You can EAT 3-5 cups!
1. Take a Spaghetti Squash and cut it in half, scrape out the seeds. (it looks like a long skinny yellow pumpkin).
2. Place it flesh down in a deep pasta dish with a half inch of water.
3. Nuke it for about 8 mins. or until you can slide a knife through the skin.
4. (Use Oven mitts - it's hot) Scrape out the insides with a fork (it will look like a pile of spaghetti).
5. Heat a jar of Rao's Marinara sauce and pour over the top.
(Optional: Add parmesan cheese)
One cup of just the squash is only 42 calories, has 10 carbs and 3 grams of protein.
A half cup of Rao's Marinara Sauce is only 80 calories.
So, have 3 cups of squash and a half cup of sauce and you net out at a whopping 206 calories!!!
You're welcome!
