Traditional spaghetti bolognese is often high in sodium, fat, and simple carbs while skimping on protein.

Meal Makeover Summary:

  • By using spaghetti squash vs pasta, my dish is lower in carbs while increasing the amount of fiber

  • A more natural sauce cuts down on added sugars

  • Using ground chicken and bacon instead of ground beef reduces fat and calories

  • Focusing on the sauce over the pasta when portioning Increases the protein/serving

Ashley’s vs Traditional Spaghetti Bolognese:

  • Pasta with 80% less carbs

  • Save over 100 calories/serving

  • Reduces sugars by nearly 50%/serving

The recipe happens to be gluten-free and dairy-free if you skip the Parmesan.
