    I played around with it a few different ways. One of my favs is to warm up about 1 tablespoon olive oil sautee garlic, shallots and baby spinach together with a piece of tilapia cut up in it. Then add the cooked squash to pan and sautee about 1/2 minute just to mix well. Plate and squeeze a little lemon juice over everything.

    Bump just means they want the thread to stay at the top of the list so they post "bump".

    I made this twice. The second time i cooked the squash ahead of time and let it cool first. So the final product was much less watery after i cooked it. Delish!!
    Ive also used it as 1 layer in a roasted veggie lasagna ( the other layers being sweet potato and zucchini)

    Just found this on "The Mushroom Channel" on Facebook:

    Mushroom Primavera over Spaghetti Squash
    Yield: 4 portions at about 260 calories



    Ingredients

    1 1/2 tbs Sliced Kalamata olives
    3/4 cup Crumbled, fat-free feta cheese

    1 cup Cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

    2 tsp minced garlic

    1 cup chopped onion

    1 lb White button mushrooms, sliced

    1 tbs Olive oil

    1 Spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)

    1/2 cup Chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish

    Directions

    With the tip of a knife, pierce squash in about 5 places. Place on paper towel in microwave and cook on high for 10 minutes, or until squash has softened. When cool enough to handle, cut squash lengthwise and remove seeds with a spoon. Remove the spaghetti-like strands of squash with a fork, set aside and cover to keep warm (or reheat in microwave at serving time).

    Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a single layer of mushrooms and cook, without stirring, for about 5 minutes or until mushrooms become red-brown on one side. Stir in onion and garlic and cook for 3 more minutes, until onions are softened. Add tomatoes, cheese and olives and cook about 3 minutes longer, until mixture is hot and bubbling. Remove pan from heat and stir in basil.

    Divide squash among 4 shallow serving bowls. Spoon sauce over spaghetti squash and garnish with additional freshly chopped basil. Serve immediately.

    I bought my first ever spaghetti squash! I happened to see it in the store and remembered this thread. The family thinks it looks weird, but they are ready to try it if it means marinara and Italian cheeses! :tongue:

    Spaghetti Squash with sausage
    Ingredients
    2 lbs spaghetti squash ( One Large)
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder olive oil
    4 Italian sausages, cooked and crumbled (I used turkey sausage)
    1/4 cup milk
    1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
    1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese fresh ground black pepper salt

    Directions
    Cut the squash in half and carefully remove the seeds.
    Be sure to cut around the edge so you don't cut into the squash itself.
    Turn halves upside down in a baking pan.
    Bake at 375-degrees for approx 45 minutes, or until the inside is soft.
    Let cool and carefully remove inside of squash with fork or spoon.
    It will look a lot like cooked spaghetti and come out in strands.
    Heat some olive oil in a skillet.
    Add the spaghetti squash strands, garlic and crumbled sausage.
    Cook on med until for approx 5 minutes.
    Add milk and cook until heated through and liquid is absorbed.
    Transfer to a warm bowl and toss with cheeses until mixed.
    Top with salt and pepper to taste.

    I added a can of italian diced tomatoes. Delicious!

    I'm sure this was added already, but just in case. Hollow it out, add some jarred sauce and mozzerella into the cavity then cook in the oven (for about an hour)! You can eat the entire half for hardly any calories. It's a great way to get my baked macaroni fix.

    I need to try some of the above recipes! They sound great.
