    I haven't been able to find any here in Aus. I have bought some seeds on ebay and hubs and I are going to try and grow some. They sound delish and also great that you can freeze the cooked flesh. :)

    Question?? If I cook a spaghetti squash and shred it, can I separate it into portions then bag it /freeze for later? I am the only one in the house that likes this squash, but 1 squash seems to make enough for 3 meals for me.

    Thanks....Teri

    I love spaghetti squash. I could eat it for almost every meal and be happy. Normally I don't care for the fall because I know that winter is coming up shortly after and I hate the cold but last night when I was grocery shopping I found a reason to love the fall. The spaghetti squash are huge! Sure, you can buy them year round but they are small, barely enough for both my husband and I to have for a meal and I like to cook in bulk. I got a squash last night that was at least 7 pounds and I can't wait to cook it! The following is my favorite way to eat spaghetti squash but I would love some more recipes!

    Needed
    1 spaghetti squash
    2 bell peppers (your choice color - I use red and green)
    Minced garlic
    1 onion
    2 tomatoes
    Olives
    Crumbled feta cheese

    Preheat oven to 375
    Cut 1 spaghetti squash in half and clean
    Place cut side down on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray and bake for 45 minutes (or until you can easily pierce the shell with a fork)

    While the spaghetti squash is cooking, cut up 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper, 1/2 to 1 whole onion (your choice depending on love for onions), and heat up in a pan with minced garlic to taste. I usually use 2-3 tbs of garlic but then I really like garlic. Once the onion is a little soft, add diced tomatos and olives until they are heated.

    When the spaghetti squash is done, take out of the oven and using a fork scrap the interior longways to form the "noodles" and put them in a large bowl. Toss with the veggies and then serve with crumbled feta cheese on top.


    This sounds UH-MAZING!!! Gotta try it!!!!

    Just made my first spaghetti squash last night... it was GREAT, and my husband liked it too :) I love that this dish is basically all vegetables with a little cheese on top, but is still so filling and satisfying.

    1 zucchini, 1 onion, 1 red bell pepper, and some garlic sauteed in a pan (I added some basil, oregano, salt, and pepper)
    Throw it in a 9x11 with the insides of a cooked spaghetti squash
    Add some marinara sauce (about 1.5 cups). Stir.
    Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
    Pull it out and throw some shredded mozzarella on top.
    Bake again until cheese is melty and delicious looking.

    About to go have leftovers for lunch, yum!

    Haven't made this particular recipe yet, but it's on my list. The post also has great step-by-step photos on how to roast one.

    Bump...we are in love with spaghetti squash and usually eat it just plain as a side but some of these ideas sound yummy for a meal itself.
