Nutrition

Spaghetti is not something most of us would think of as a healthy meal, and typically it is not. However, when making a few simple tweaks to some of the ingredients used, it can be very healthy. Using shredded spaghetti squash as a replacement to conventional noodles provides a nutritious alternative to regular pasta which is often loaded with carbohydrates. The use of leafy green spinach doesn’t hurt either.

Adding just a small amount of Hawaiian Spirulina into the sauce is a terrific way to blend in this potent superfood and you won’t even know the difference. Next time you prepare spaghetti for the family, try this recipe. You may be surprised how good it is!
