The 1st one really sound good too, plus I think I have all of those ingrediants at home! Thanks!!!!0 -
It's good with just a traditional marinara sauce, or a mushroom sauce. I also really like it in a salad. I make it just as I would pasta salad - pelnty of chopped vegetables with a vinaigrette dressing, maybe a little crumbled feta or shaved parmesan - served chilled. It's also good with a reduced fat cheese sauce, or with just a little olive oil and/or parmesan.
And it's pretty tasty plain. I once cooked a spaghetti squash and prepared a nice mushroom sauce for it. My husband asked "What did you put on this, butter?" He'd missed the pan of mushroom sauce and was eating with nothing at all.0 -
My sister's made it twice and it's delicious, tastes like you're just eating angel hair! You just cut the spaghetti squash in half and bake it in the oven then after you use the fork to make the strands. For the sauce she used jennie o lean turkey and crushed tomatoes.0

We just tried it for the first time this past weekend. Just boiled till slightly tender, removed "spaghetti" with a fork added garlic and
parmesan cheese, and WOW. Good stuff, Sooo many possibilities! LOL0 -

Now that I have discovered spaghetti squash, I hate pasta (with the exception of cheese tortellini....mmm). It is sweeter and the texture is better.
I don't have a recipe per se (use it however you would have used regular pasta!) BUT, I can give a time saver suggestion on cooking it. Put it in the crockpot with 3 cups of water for about 6 hours on low. After it is cooked that long, it is easier to cut open and dig all the junk out of it so you can get to the goody. Trying to cut it before it has cooked is soooo hard and trying to lug it in and out of the oven is just awkward.0 -
Thanks everyone!!!!! I went with Spagetti Squash Lasagna! It was delicious!!!
Can't wait to try out some of your suggestions!!!
Thanks again!0 -

Had this for dinner last night, & we really enjoyed it. Leftovers for dinner tonight No cooking = joy....0 -
I take the squash and (with a fork) poke a bunch of holes around it. Then you can put it in the microwave and cook until the outside is tender...or it pushes in real easily. This is about 10-15 minutes depending on your microwave strength. Sometimes it might take longer. There will be a slight hissing sound, but that is normal. The juices are coming through the holes, but they won't spill all over your microwave. Once cooked, I shred with a fork and put in a bowl. Then I sprinkle a little salt and pepper to taste. I'll also add a tiny bit of butter. You can use any butter substitute that you like. Sometimes I'll just eat it like this as a side. Other times I will add marinara and grilled chicken. You can be as creative as you want with this vegetable.0
