23 Delicious Spaghetti Squash Recipes

It’s winter. It’s cold. And I’m doing Whole30. And I want spaghetti. But pasta is off limits this month (like way off limits). I can’t have grains or beans, which eliminates pretty much all of my go-to gluten-free pasta brands. And while I was upset about that for a hot minute, I quickly remembered that there’s a great alternative out there, and we all love it (as long as I don’t call it squash).

23 Delicious Spaghetti Squash Recipes

When I did my first Whole30, I relied heavily on spaghetti squash recipes to get me through the first couple of weeks when all I wanted was a big bowl of alfredo.

But I couldn’t have cheese (or dairy). I wasn’t really prepared for that the first time, but this round, I knew that with the temps in single digits I needed to have a backup plan.

This time, I prepared myself. I got a Whole30 Toolkit. I found a store that regularly stocks spaghetti squash. Then I tossed the garbage in the garbage (and internally freaked out about the money that I spent on those dang paleo cookies).

I knew that I needed to be ready for cravings. Well, and potential food rage moments (it’s a real thing, I promise). Having a stockpile of menus, recipes, and some “cheat” meals (or at least they feel like cheats) has been awesome.

Granted, we’re only about a week in. But so far, I’ve made quite a few “pasta” dinners that have been huge hits, and the boys have not complained in the least.

And regardless of whether you’ve jumped on the #whole30january bandwagon or not, these winter-friendly recipes are to die for.
