My favorite spaghetti squash recipe! What's yours?

Bump!

Definitely need to look at more of these later!

I don't want to sound stupid. But what does Bump mean, is it a new lingo!

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)

looks yummy!

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!

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!
