Lately I have seen so many yummy healthy recipes cooking with spaghetti squash and I have always wondered what all the hype was in the grain free community about spaghetti squash. I remember way back before I had kids I attempted to boil a spaghetti squash and my hubby and I were not impressed. It had no flavor, was not a fan of the texture, and I never tried to cook with it again until recently.
A Healthy Grain Free Recipe
My new goal is to take my family in a grain free direction more than ever because of my auto-immune disorder issues and to see if it helps my son who has Autism. I am always on the look out for healthier recipes and pasta substitutes I decided to give spaghetti squash another chance in my kitchen. I knew it was probably not the squash, but more the cook who killed it and so I gave it a whirl again. I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed and even my kids ate it like they would regular noodles.
This recipe is also totally 21 Day Fix approved. One single serving is considered 1 green portion controlled container and 1 tablespoon oil roughly. Do not know about the 21 Day Fix click HERE
- A cooked 3 pound spaghetti squash with meat scraped out of the shell into a bowl.
- 2 tbs of olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup red cherry tomatoes or as many as you would like
- ½ tsp of sea salt
- ½ tsp of basil
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ parsley
- Take your cooked spaghetti squash and scrap it out and put it into a serving bowl.
- Next take your onion, garlic, and tomatoes and throw into a skillet sauteing until your onions are slightly brown and your tomatoes have cooked down.
- At the very end of your cooking add in your sea salt, basil, oregano, and parsley and mix around letting that cook for a minute or two.
- Take your garlic, onion, and tomatoes with seasonings and mix those into the already cook spaghetti squash.
- Serve immediately
What really made me love this recipe was the flavors of the garlic, onion, and just the right about of herbs and spices. It gave enough kick to the squash to make it taste really good.

Do you think this would be tasty with kale added to the mix? I’m going to try it this evening and have some kale that needs utilized before it goes bad. Looking forward to hearing your opinion. Thanks!
Yes if you sauteed it would. Sorry it was a crazy day Kali I hope it tasted good if you tried it. 🙂 Amee
What is the 21 Day Fix Container count for a serving of this? It looks delicious!
I would use the 1 green container and 1 tsp 🙂
I made this and added a chicken/pineapple jerk sausage. I will definitely make this again.
That sounds great! Thanks for sharing!
