QEEP Cooking: Maggie Q's Spaghetti Squash & Easy Marinara

QEEP Cooking: Maggie Q's Spaghetti Squash & Easy Marinara

I love spaghetti squash. It's like magic the way it scoops out like spaghetti once you roast it. It's the perfect replacement for pasta if you're on a low-carb diet. It's also lower in calories and high in fiber and other nutrients.

I like to pair it with an easy marinara that you can make in a couple of minutes. While I keep it vegan, you can add whatever protein you like.
