Where have you been all my life? I am just tickled pink at how much I like this stuff!!! I roasted it for an hour at 375, split it open and ripped it apart with a fork, drenched it with some chipotle tabasco and could not finish even one half of the squash. For 85 calories.
:love: :love: :love:

    I love spaghetti squash too, I cut it in half, place middle down on baking sheet with about a cup of water, Bake 375 till I think its done. I never have timed it. Scoop out in to a bowl and put spaghetti sauce on it. Delish!

    OMG I found a peeler that peels them like spaghetti so I made some zuchini & yellow squash spaghetti for the 1st time night before last. I added some onions, yellow & orange bell peppers, a little Italian sauce and cut up some roasted chicken in it. Let it marinate and wooooooolah!! HEAVEN!!

    I pierced the squash with my meat timer and roasted it whole.

    I was joking with my hubby that it is more like "chow mein" squash LOL because the "noodles" are short, not twirlable.

    Have loved spaghetti squash for many years. It's a beautiful thing! (omg I just sounded like Martha Stewart. Ack.)

    I do mine in the microwave a lot of times. Just cut in half width-wise (may need an ax), clean out seeds, put face down on a plate with a tablespoon or two of water and hit high for about 10-12 minutes. So easy. :love:

    Acorn squash is another good one to roast. You can brush it with EVOO and a bit of parmesan reggiano...or you can hit it with goat cheese :).
