    In my area it's been so expensive. They want $1.18 a pound and they're running at least 5#.

    I made this for dinner last night and it was fantastic: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/09/spaghetti-squash-lasagna.html

    Doesn't really slice and hold together like lasagna, but it's a big yummy bowl of saucy cheesy deliciousness. :smile:

    I tried something new this week and it was great. Just microwaved the spaghetti squash (cut in half, scooped out, flesh side down in about 1/2 inch water - covered with plastic wrap for about 10-12 minutes) and put yummy ratatouille on top. Topped with red pepper flakes. Oh my yum!!

    (Just google South Beach Phase 1 Classic Ratatouille for that recipe. Basically, sauteed eggplant, zucchini, tomato, onion, garlic and spices.)

    I make Ground turkey meat sauce with tomato sauce. I put that on the spaghetti squash and eat it just like spaghetti. It is literally my favorite food now. I CRAVE it. I never thought I would say that about something healthy.

    I do something similar and I crave it too! Right now I'm eating spaghetti squash bake for lunch. Steamed spaghetti squash, turkey bratwurst, onion, mushrooms, spaghetti sauce, mozzerella cheese, and parmesan cheese. Sooooooooo filling and soooooooo yummy!!! <3

    I just use it like pasta, with sauce and tons of roasted veggies. Since they are only available for a short time.
    I bought 4 of them roasted them in the oven for only 30 min:drinker: . When they were cooled I scooped them out and put them in plastic bags and froze them. I plan to have squash all winter. I love it.

    I've done most of the variations mentioned above--love them all.

    One easy way which I also love is to take the cooked spaghetti squash (microwave or roasted--I personally much prefer roasted if you have the time), and top it with fresh salsa from the produce section, and reduced fat sour cream. VERY yummy & low calorie!

    I had something similar to Creamy Mushroom listed above tonight.

    I fried up some chicken (bite size) and mushrooms (bite size), then added a can of mushroom soup (campbells), and the spaghetti squash... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Good!!!!!!!!! My fave so far! My fiance put it up there with his fave!

    I also added salt, pepper and parmesan cheese.

    Can anyone recommend a good way to cut spaghetti squash in half (lengthwise)? I attempted to do it with a chef's night tonight, and it literally took 20 minutes and was rather scary. Wrong knife?

    That's a really good question!!! I just went and bought a new knife because I was having such a hard time. Let me tell you this knife is not any better... it always takes a while to get through the spaghetti squash!!! I would love to know what kind of knife that I should invest in, because I struggle with that as well. Sometimes it's all crooked and everything!

    For all you Spaghetti Squash lovers. I found out that if you use those special knives to cut a pumpkin, you will be able to cut the squash no probs! Just had to share :-)

    I read someplace about doing spaghetti squash in the microwave while it is whole. Take a knife and punch 3 or 4 wholes in the squash. Put on microwave safe plate and nuke for 6 minutes, turn over and cook 6 more minutes. Will be hot. Let sit for 5 - 10 minutes. Squash will be soft, then you can cut it in half, carefully, will be hot. Scoop out seeds and voila you can easily fork out the spaghetti.

    I recently discovered spaghetti squash too and I will eat the crap out of it. I bake it at 350 for an hour and then scrape the insides out.

    The way I eat them: I put like about a cup in a bowl, load it with butter, parsley, and garlic salt and then nuke it until the butter is all melted. I LOVE it that way.

    I've frozen it before too, but it seems to get a little mushy and more watery after it thaws.
