I am giving this 5 stars because it is so easy, healthy and quick! Even my son loved it! He has never had spaghettin squash before and really enjoyed it. It has all the great taste without the pasta. You feel full, but not stuffed! I used a little more fresh spinach and tomatoes. Great light dinner! I will make this often.
