*Creamy ricotta and herb squash. Mix ricotta with chopped fresh basil, parsley, oregano, pepper and grated Parmesan. Dollop mixture on top of cooked squash.
Do a pasta swap! As you might guess from the name, spaghetti squash closely resembles certain long, skinny noodles, but it has far fewer calories and carbohydrates. Try it in these classic pasta dishes.
Instead of...
*Buttered noodles: Sauté spaghetti squash with garlic, butter, grated Parmesan and crushed red pepper.
*Greek orzo: Combine squash with cooked bell peppers, zucchini and onion; top with chopped olives and feta.
*Pesto pasta: Toss with pesto and sun-dried tomatoes.
