Mouth Healthy Recipe: Squashed Guts

Spaghetti squash

With so many sweets haunting tabletops and trick-or-treat bags at Halloween, it’s nice to serve up something that’s spooky and healthy. These squashed guts will not only be a hit with your little monsters, but it’s a better choice for their fangs as well.

Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash
1 can of tomato sauce

Directions

Halve a spaghetti squash and scrape out the seeds, then microwave the squash for 12-15 minutes or until it is tender when pierced with a fork. Once cooked, scrape out the cooked squash, which will now be stringy like spaghetti. Mix it with the tomato sauce and serve in small cups.
