    I half mine and scoop the seeds. Put a dab of light olive oil in each half with some pepper, salt, seasoning. Place cut side down on a cookie sheet and bake for about an hour on 350(f) then I scrape the inside into a baking dish with some part skim mozz, some tomato sauce and sprinkle parmesan over the top and let it all melt and the top crisp. You can add chicken, ground turkey, beef whatever its delicious.

    I saw a recipe online that was to cook the squash the same way but then scrape the strings into a pan on the stove top and cook with some honey lime shrimp or some garlic butter shrimp and its supposedly amazing. Going to try this one soon.

    I love spaghetti squash. It's good plain with absolutely nothing added. But my favorites are served with mushroom sauce, with pesto, lightly tossed with fresh tomatoes and garlic that have been sauteed in olive oil, or with just a little grated parmesan.

    I don't really use it as a pasta substitute though. I do not like it with cream or tomato based pasta sauces. I think they overpower it so that I can't taste the squash.

    bumping so I can come back to this specific recipe lol

    I love this recipe also. I do make a couple of changes............

    Instead of pizza sauce, I use spaghetti sauce instead of pizza sauce and add in some pepperoni, onion, bell pepper.
