We LOVE spaghetti squash here too!! Even my kids love it( 11mo, 2, 7, 8). We use newmans own sockerooni sauce on it and have grilled chicken on the side. Occasionally I'll use lean ground turkey burger in the sauce and we just mix it like pasta. the kids and I like parmesan on top, but the hubby likes feta. going to have to try some of these other recipes though!

I do something similar -using Newman's marinara add chicken and make it like a chicken parm and add cheese on top. So good and good for you.

Bumping....cannot wait to try some of these! Bought my first spaghetti squash but was struggling with how to make it, now I have tons of great ideas....thanks!

Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
Serves 6

1 medium spaghetti squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, cut in half and very thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more if you like it spicy
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 container (6 oz) plain greek yogurt
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Cut the spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Place on cooking pan and roast until done. In a medium sized skillet over medium heat, add the oil, onions, red pepper and thyme and cook until the onions are slightly brown in color. Salt and pepper to taste.

Using a fork, scrape the insides of the squash and transfer to a small bowl. Combine the squash, onions, yogurt and half the cheese together and mix well. Transfer the mixture to a buttered baking dish and top with remaining cheese.

Place into a 375º for 15 – 20 minutes until golden brown on top.

I served it for company and didn't tell the girls and they thought it was pasta.

Try Tilapia Piccatta if you like capers. No breading, olive oil, pepper & lemon juice with a sauce made of butter or sub (not much - a pad or less) capers & more lemon juice - a heaping teaspoon of sauce for a 4 oz filet is full of flavor. Amazing.

bump for later..thanks
