My favorite spaghetti squash recipe comes from a cookbook called Well Fed. It replaces the rice noodles with spaghetti squash and the soy sauce with a “Sunshine Sauce,” both of which will make you feel good about eating this spicy, creamy, and comforting dish. It has just fraction of the calories and fat compared to the original.
