Roasted spaghetti squash- what to add?

monahan74

i love spaghetti squash with a little red sauce but what other things can I try to do with it?

I love it stuffed with enchilada sauce, chicken, peppers and onions and topped with cheese. Also stuffed with peanut sauce and broccoli or stuffed with lasagna filling (bolognese, mozz, ricotta).

This recipe is phenomenal!

I cook it with onions,mushrooms, garlic, red bell pepper and season with oregano, basil, garlic salt and crushed red pepper. Add a little marinara and some mozzarella and you have a really filling delicious meal,

Also I have a jar of red curry and I put that in with onions, garlic, bell pepper, tomatoes and you could use chickpeas too!

This is by far the best spaghetti squash recipe I've had. I modified her sauce recipe by substituting canned coconut milk in place of the whopping 1/2 cup of oil and it turns out great. I've also had success adding chicken and tofu, it is really versatile.

Love this idea! Going to try this week. Also, a friend makes a really delicious alfredo spaghetti squash but not sure how healthy it is.

My family loves it with baked potato toppings. We like to top it with nonfat Greek yogurt, lowfat shredded cheese, bacon bits and chives.

I actually really do not like it with marinara or that type of flavoring. It takes to mexican food flavors really well. Or curries as someone else mentioned. It's delicious with the "warmer" spices (not necessarily spicy).

I sautée up some other veggies, onions, carrots, garlic, mushrooms, asparagus and add them inside the shell after you scoop out the spaghetti squash

I recently roasted some spagetti squash, pulled out the inners and mixed them with brocolli in a balsamic vinegar reduction and feta cheese, then put the filling back in the boats and baked again for another 10ish minutes, it was amazing! I wish I had a photo for you.

This is one of my absolute favorite recipes. I sub kale for spinach sometimes, and add chicken to fill it out

They sound so useful! I wish we could get spaghetti squash in the UK easily.

I eat it just like Spaghetti! Tomato sauce, brocolli, orange bell pepper, a romantic tomato, black ground pepper and brown mushrooms with maybe a bit of hot sauce and Italian spice. It's so delicious!

OMG I LOVE SPAGHETTI SQUASH.
My favorite way to have it is with a small amount of butter, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. I usually have it as a side, and it's so filling!

prmap

i mix it with a little shredded motzarella and chopped up chicken or pepperoni

Do you just split it in half and bake it facing down in a glass pan? Do you add any water? I know my mom would roast acorn squash with water in pan facedown, but idk if that's necessary?

Just a little olive oil, salt and pepper facing down on a baking sheet. No water needed.

I usually nuke it whole, then cut in half and remove the seeds.

I keep wanting to make that but I don't because then I wouldn't be able to log the squash accurately.

I do meat sauce squash too though.
