Spaghetti Squash 'Pasta' with Roasted Vegetables

I have been on a low-carb diet now for only 7 days and I am seeing a BIG time difference already. I find myself feeling fuller longer and not having any crazy sugar cravings — which is amazing since I have nearly cut out sugar entirely. I have been looking for alternatives to pasta since that is a big meal around here and need something to be quick, easy and allergen friendly. This spaghetti squash ‘pasta’ with roasted vegetables fits the bill and is beyond delicious!
