Spinach and Roasted Garlic Spaghetti Squash PT60M https://img3.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/1021/66/b/223365/300x200x90.jpg Why spaghetti squash? Because it’s fun, it’s in season, and it is super low carb. Not that I follow a low carb diet, (like ever) I just like to experiment and try different things. If you are following a low carb diet or doing the paleo thing, give this recipe a try! Just for a little number comparison, a one-cup serving of regular spaghetti has 43 grams of carbohydrate, while a one-cup serving of spaghetti squash only has 7 grams of carbohydrate. The other veggies in the dish contribute minimal carbs, except for the garbanzo beans. If you are serving this as a side dish, you could go bean-less. For the main dish, I like to keep them as a good source of vegetarian protein and iron. 4 servings Ingredients: parmesan cheese to top red pepper flakes 1 tbsp. butter or vegan butter 1/4 cup slivered almonds 3 big handfuls fresh spinach 1 can garbanzo beans 1/4 tsp. salt 2 green onions, chopped 1 leek, chopped black pepper 1 tbsp. olive oil 2 garlic, roasted whole 1 medium spaghetti squash
