    My favorite use: nuke it in a shallow pan with about 1" of water to loosen it up, and then strip out the squash with a fork so it's like pasta almost......then add to a pan of sauteed mushrooms and scallops, mix thoroughly and add in baby spinach leaves. Delicious!

    Cut squash in half and cook in the microwave. Scoop out seeds and then remove the pulp. Cut up a medium onion. Add squash and onion in a skillet with 2 cloves of garlic and 2 tablespoons of olive. Then add salt and pepper to taste. It will cook quickly and is done when onions are cooked tender.

    I LOVE spaghetti squash! I usually cook it in the microwave and depending on how I feel I'll add a little bit of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and some freshly shredded mozzarella cheese. I think it acts more like a spaghetti substitute when you put some pasta sauce on it though (I use healthy choice). Either way it's so filling!

    I grill bell peppers, yellow squash, onions, and tomatoes on my Foreman grill, chop them up & put them in a little bit of jarred marinara sauce, serving it over spag squash. Sometimes I add grilled chicken to it. Low cal, high fiber. :)

    throw it on a skillet with some chicken, broccolli, braggs liquid aminos (soy sauce alternative) and you'll have a yummy stirfry. I also mix nutritional yeast in after for a cheesy pasta-like dish.

    S squash with pesto.
    S squash with salt and pepper.
    S squash with parmesan and butter - my personal favorite.
    S squash with spaghetti sauce. Use it like it is spaghetti.
    Stuff it with a mixture of cooked wild rice, raisins, egg (to hold it all together), chopped green and red pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Cover with foil and bake until the squash is tender. Yummy.

    The Fat Lady at the doctor's office who turned me on to MFP told me I could eat 2 lean cuisines for dinner....because eating at work is sometimes difficult... I've found that one or one and one-half cups of spaghetti squash with a lean cuisine dinner (210-250 calorie ones are the ones I use) poured over it, with salad or a soup is a fine quick easy meal while at work.

    I also like SQ with butter or olive oil, garlic/garlic salt, a few capers.......as a side to anything. it's one of my new favorites I've found here at mfp..
