Spaghet Me Not

We all sigh at the spaghetti scene in "Lady and the Tramp" — partly because it doesn't get any more romantic than two dogs sharing a spaghetti, but mainly because we're jealous of the fact that Lady doesn't know how many carbs she's ingesting and as a dog, she doesn't really have to worry about it. Lucky. If you've gone low-carb, but miss your old spaghetti nights, we've found the perfect substitute for you. Try Sophie Pachella's Spaghet-Me-Not.
Ingredients:1 large spaghetti squash 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese Flaxseed oil Any tomato pasta sauce (which does not contain high fructose corn syrup) Or: dry pesto powder mix - reconstituted with skim milk
Directions:
1. Poke holes all over squash and microwave squash for 15 minutes or until completely soft. Turn occasionally in microwave.
2. Cut open, get rid of the seeds, scrape all the squash into a serving bowl
3. Mix in the rest of the ingredients.
