Pineapple Ginger Spaghetti Squash is the perfect side dish to replace pasta with a hint of ginger and pineapple flavor. Needless to say, this squash has a savory flavor with a hint of sweetness. In fact, it will take you by surprise and make you a fan from the first bite. In all honesty, it is the perfect side dish for chicken, beef, pork, seafood, or buffalo.

Consequently, this dish is a great accompaniment to my Pineapple Turkey Meatballs. Are you trying to find an alternative to pasta? Not only does this Spaghetti squash stand-in for pasta but it will leave you craving more spaghetti squash. To be honest I really hate trying to cut open a whole spaghetti squash as I always worry about cutting myself.

Therefore, I cook the squash whole. Yep, you heard that right I put the whole thing in to cook in the oven after poking it with a fork several times. I cook it in a 375 degree F oven for roughly 30 minutes remove from oven and roll squash over and place back in the oven. Bake for another 30 or until a fork is able to pierce the skin easily. At any rate,  simply cut the squash in half remove the seeds and then with a fork scrape off and remove the squash. How easy is that?

Not only does this side-dish go along with my Pineapple Turkey Meatballs but it is tasty all by itself.

Pineapple Ginger Spaghetti Squash Notes:

Admittedly I used a can of organic pineapple chunks in my Pineapple Turkey Meatballs and then reserved the juice to place into the sauce for this recipe. In conclusion, if you are not making meatballs and just making the Pineapple Ginger Squash feel free to either juice fresh or use a can of pineapple juice.

Normally I find coconut aminos Teriyaki Sauce at my local store but it can also be purchased off of Amazon here.  Always read the ingredient list to make sure it is something you want to add to your diet.

Personally:

I truly believe that there are more good people in the world than bad. It is my hope that in some small way I can not only help others who are grain-free, refined sugar-free but to in some small way lift others who read my blog up. In other words, it is my hope that I can use this blog to help create a better world for all of us.

I would like to encourage everyone to commit small RAK’s (Random Acts of Kindness). Perhaps my favorite idea for RAK’s is to smile at someone, give a listening ear or a kind compliment. If you have not been told today that you are incredible, I think you are INCREDIBLE. May all who read my blog or recipes feel uplifted.

My hopes and prayers are for each and everyone who stops and reads to have a WONDERFUL and BLESSED day!!
