Healthy Spaghetti Squash Lasagne
Healthy Spaghetti Squash Lasagne
Spaghetti squash lasagne is one of the recipes from our nutrition mindset programme which is super delicious and ticks the boxes for the correct ratios of carbs, protein and fats. This is a healthy, lower calorie version of the pasta-clad, gluey gut alternative. What’s more it focuses on the good stuff, which means you’ll still get plenty of sauce and cheese. But instead of pasta noodles, you’ll load up on spaghetti squash . Spaghetti squash is a fibre-rich, lower-carb alternative to pasta.
