You can basically use it in place of pasta in almost any recipe you have. I've done it with a bolognese sauce a lot and that tastes good, but I've also seen it in baked, casserole-type dishes also.0

My fave way to cook spaghetti squash is to roast it with olive oil, then shred it. Then, I toss with arugula, goat cheese, olives, and roasted red peppers for a cold "pasta salad" that is savory, salty, fills me up, and gets some greens in all at once!
I have also tossed with sesame seeds, ginger, soy sauce, and stir fry veggies as if they were Asian "noodles". Yummmm0 -
It pairs with anything you serve (it picks up the flavor of anything that it's being served with). That being said, don't think you can pair it with spaghetti squash and it taste like spaghetti...it won't. It will taste like spaghetti sauce. BUT...if you mix it with pasta to bulk up your pasta and to add a veggie, THAT will taste like spaghetti. You don't have to add much pasta.
I like having some on hand to put in my spaghetti or in my soups.0 -
I replace the pasta in this recipe with it: http://womenist.blogark.com/southwestern-baked-spaghetti/ (huge hit in my house). This is also another one I've been meaning to try: http://easy-cookbook-recipes.com/skinny-spaghetti-squash-alfredo/. Really you can shred it and put and sauce over it and it's really tasty!0

I take the easy way out because I'm a slacker. Hahaha
I cut my squash into quarters and put them in a quarter inch of water. Microwave for 15 minutes. Let it cool, then flake out with a fork and put in a plastic container so you can pull some out here and there for various dishes.0 -

^This, plus try adding to this some garlic, fresh basil and a chicken breast (optional, but a good way to add protein and fill up). That's a favorite dish in our house!0 -
my absolute favorite way is roasted with olive oil like someone else mentioned, then tossed with peanut sauce..
this is the recipe i use http://www.familyfreshcooking.com/2012/01/30/spaghetti-squash-thai-peanut-sauce-recipe/#.UZYygvVF6So0 -
You can either pour a spaghetti type sauce over it or just add a little butter or margarine with some parm cheese or a little brown sugar. Yummy!!!!!0

Salsa, feta, black olives and green bell pepper.... Oh! So good!0
-
I add some laughing cow cheese (a portion or two depending on how many servings), butter (a little), parm (also a little), and of course salt and pepper and stir it up so it gets all melty. It's kind of like an alfredo version.0
-
also good with thai peanut sauce0
-
Some butter, and pumpkin pie spice (nutmeg/cinn) and bake it! YUM0
-
I like it all by itself with salt, pepper and a touch of butter. Yumm0
-
bumping this to try out0
-
mmmmmmmmmmm endless possibilities - a little bit of pesto - I've made it into a pizza crust even! Usually a little bit of garlic powder - S & P and a splash of olive oil - if I have any chicken italian sausage - I brown that up and toss it in--- NOM NOM NOM! Now I want some!0
-
I love it with just a bit of butter and salt and pepper. So yummy0
-
bumping to try some of these recipes - they sound great!0

Cut it in half and drizzle on some olive oil and parmesan and bake. Once it's fork tender you can shred it out of the peel with a fork, it looks like pasta hence the name "spaghetti squash". I have used it in placement of pasta.0
