Savory Low FODMAP Spaghetti Squash with Pecorino Romano is a yummy, fall-inspired side dish with only a handful of ingredients.
Once cooked, spaghetti squash shreds easily with a fork into “noodles” making this veggie a great pasta alternative. Enjoy spaghetti squash on its own, topped with low FODMAP pasta sauce or in today’s Low FODMAP Spaghetti Squash with Pecorino.
A personal side note, other than ghee or the occasional dab of butter, I don’t tolerate dairy products. So, I left the Pecorino off of my serving and still really enjoyed this dish (but I do tend to really like and gravitate towards “simple” foods). With that said, my cheese-loving husband gladly devoured the Pecorino-covered portions and gave this recipe a two thumbs up. 🙂
FODMAP FYI – A low FODMAP serving per current Monash recommendations is 1 cup cooked spaghetti squash. I always recommend checking their app though for the latest data on low FODMAP foods and serving sizes.
