    I wanted to add this. You can slow cook the spaghetti squash and have it ready for dinner when you get home:

    (SLOW COOKER or CROCK-POT).
    Choose a smaller spaghetti squash (unless you have an extra large slow cooker) so that it will fit.
    Add 2 cups of water to slow cooker.
    Pierce the whole shell several times with a large fork or skewer, add to Crock Pot, cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours.
    Once the squash is cooked, let it cool for 10 to 20 minutes so it will be easier to handle, before cutting in half (if it wasn't already) and removing the seeds. Pull a fork lengthwise through the flesh to separate it into long strands, (See photos.).

    Also I posted a similar thread and got some great ideas a few weeks ago. Just search for spaghetti squash recipes in the forums.
