    I'd mix the sauce with some white beans and stuff into peppers, roast then top with cheese. But that's me because the only time I tried a winter squash (acorn) I didn't like it. I just don't like savory foods that taste sweet. I would only eat pumpkin in a pumpkin pie for example and would not touch sweet potatoes even if it was the last food on earth.

    I switched to Fiber Gourmet brand pasta. It's half the calories of regular pasta and very high fiber without tasting gritty. It tastes like regular al dente pasta. It's not cheap, but it allows me to eat big plates of pasta and still lose weight.

    I use cooked quinoa as a replacement for pasta, rice and potatoes. Also yummy cold in a salad.

    Spaghetti Squash - it's great left over (I love to add frozen meatballs and take it for lunch - or add taco meat and a little cheese and low-fat sour cream!) Yum!
