See how easy it is to create a hearty low-carb meal using spaghetti squash.

We love cooking with our cast-iron skillets. It just seems as if everything tastes better prepared in cast-iron. One of our weekly favorites is Spaghetti Squash Mushroom Marinara or what we call ‘sketti squash. When we first started making this the kids wanted it served on pasta and would pick out the mushrooms, but it didn’t take them long to enjoy it as prepared. See how simple it is to create below. I even put together a video of the steps.

We always make this recipe with a jar of spaghetti sauce. We’ve tried several brands, but our favorite is Mezzetta® Marinara. The rich flavor is the perfect companion to our spaghetti squash or any pasta. All Mezzetta® Marinara sauces are made with the world’s best San Marzano tomatoes. The 6 flavors available are Italian Plum Tomato, Whole Garlic & Sweet Basil, Caramelized Onion & Butter, Calabrian Chili & Garlic, Truffle, Porcini & Cream, and Parmigiano Reggiano. They also carry Pizza Sauce.
