5 Fun Instagram Recipes Featuring Spaghetti Squash
About 10 years ago, my family made a major shift to focus on eating healthier ingredients, and as close to “Paleo” as we can. No, we’re not perfect, but we just generally feel better when we use better, and fewer ingredients.
Recently in our paleo journey, we started making Spaghetti Squash as our pasta base, on occasion. Its a vegetable, that acts like spaghetti, and sops up your meat sauce beautifully. Trust me. It’s great, easy and healthy. And it’s become a regular staple in our family meal planning.
So I thought it would be fun to share some of our absolute favorite spaghetti squash recipes from our favorite recipe bloggers.
Enjoy!

1. Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai by @lexiscleankitchen
Growing up, my family used to eat thai once every week or so. Pad Thai was my guy. My mom jokes that I used to ask my parents to order a separate pad thai dish…just for me to eat. You can imagine that when we flipped paleo this was a tough one to give up, but then we found Lexi’s pad thai that uses spaghetti squash as the noodle. Wow. I’m a huge huge Lexi fan. We have her cookbook, we cook her recipes all the time, but let me tell you, I really believe this pad thai is her best recipe.
2. Baked Feta Spaghetti Squash by @grilledcheesesocial
Maybe its my middle eastern roots, but boy do I love feta. It’s salty, and the consistency of melted feta, or whipped feta, is really nice. Pair that with tomatoe and spaghetti squash, and you’ve got a super easy, heart warming meal, with no grains. When this one came across my feed, we knew we needed to give it a try and it was really worth it.
3. Loaded Spaghetti Squash by @kalejunkie
Using spaghetti squash as the base for a traditional meat sauce was my entry point into this amazing vegetable. Technically you could layer your own meat sauce recipe on top of spaghetti squash, which is something we do at home. Separately - I’m a big believer that every family needs their own special meat sauce recipe. We picked ours up in Tuscany :)
But I like this recipe from Nicole because it gives you everything you need in one spot. Plus its fun to actually use the base of the squash as the bowl.
4. Spicy Peanut Spaghetti Squash by @hettymckinnon
At first glance, you may think this is similar to the spaghetti squash pad thai, but look a little closer and you’ll see this is it’s own unique squash bowl with meaty mushrooms, kale and more.
This one is for the true vegans out there.
5. Cheesy Roasted Garlic Alfredo Stuffed Spaghetti Squash by @halfbakedharvest
Are you kidding me with the title of this one lol. What a mouthful, and so is this recipe. It’s rich, creamy and perfect for this winter. It’s kinda like a cheesy pasta boat, but without all the pasta.
