Spaghetti squash, also known as noodle squash or squaghetti, is such a fun vegetable to eat and super easy to prepare! Once cooked, the flesh can be scooped out to look like strands of spaghetti, thus making it an excellent substitute for spaghetti! Serve it with your favorite pasta sauce and toppings or as a fun side dish.
