    It's great! Trader Joe's had it in San Diego for like $1.50 per squash (not per pound).

    I don't even purchase regular spaghetti anymore- totally love spaghetti squash! When I make it for my husband, I prepare it it like I would pasta using ground turkey and marinara sauce. Personally, I like it with feta cheese, fresh basil, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and just a tiny, tiny drizzle of EVOO. I've also made spaghetti squash gratin- here is the recipe:

    Thanks for the ideas, everyone. I just got my first one the other day. It's sitting on the counter waiting for me to jump in and try something.

    Whenever I make some sort of curry I have to have spaghetti squash with it!
    Usually I'll make a thai curry with coconut milk full of veggie's and eat it with spaghetti squash or I'll make and indian curry with chickpeas.
    The spaghetti squash is so good covered in all the creamy curry sauce!

    Love spaghetti squash. Was one of my faves when I was a vegetarian. If you want something freakin' awesome, try this!

    1 spaghetti squash (poke holes in it with a knife or fork, microwave for 15 minutes or so in a plate of water, flip halfway)
    Yellow onion, garlic, fennel/anise, tomatoes, basil, EVOO, salt, pepper, and a little Parmesan.

    Get the spaghetti squash going, and throw in your onions and garlic and anise to a little heated EVOO. Get them to a nice golden brown color. While the onion, garlic, and anise is browning, dice some tomatoes and also take the squash out of the microwave and split it in half. It will be super hot so be careful. Take the seeds out and then start scraping the inside with a fork to get the "spaghetti" out.

    Throw the spaghetti squash in with your onion, garlic and anise and let it cook a little longer, add in seasonings. Add tomatoes and some fresh basil last and then top with a little Parmesan! Soooo good!

    I have totally replaced pasta with spaghetti squash and also mix it up sometimes by using butternut instead. I plan to grow my own this summer :)
