This is delicious! I hated spaghetti squash the first time I tried it, then my friend let me try this recipe and I love it. Spaghetti squash is my new friend 🙂
Yea! Spaghetti squash is a good friend to have 🙂
This was quite tasty, easy to make, and very satisfying. I haven’t even committed to the SIBO diet yet – the full diet is going to take some planning – but I’m slowly eliminating “illegal” foods and have already noticed a big difference. My gut is definitely more calm. This dish didn’t upset my gut at all which was a huge blessing. Thank you for the recipes – it’s very helpful for those of us who are overwhelmed with health issues. 🙂
Good news! Such a relief to have a calm gut even if its just for a moment. You are welcome 🙂
My husband loves your recipes. I have not been able to cook anything for him in three years. its wonderful to finally cook again for him and he is able to enjoy with out worrying that he is going to have an episode. thank you!
That is so good to hear!
I love this recipe! I have made it so many times. Your site has been my first introduction to spaghetti squash and I eat it regularly now in place of pasta.
Thank god for spaghetti squash!;)
This is such a delicious dish SIBO or no SIBO I am definitely a fan!

This is SO yummy! I think I bought too big of a squash. Noticed the recipe said ‘small’ squash when I got home from the store lol still delicious!!
