This casserole is a perfect replacement for heavy pasta dishes that leave you feeling sluggish. Spaghetti squash contains omega 3 essential fatty acids, good for preventing heart disease, cancer and inflammation caused by arthritis, and omega 6 fatty acids which promotes brain function. Imagine that — a ‘pasta’ dish that is packed with many vitamins and minerals, which are required for proper functioning of the body! Almost too good to be true, but it is.
