    I bake it, Whole! because those buggers are darn near impossible to cut open when not cooked! lol
    Then I put a huge dallop of spaghetti squash in a bowl and pour either butternut squash soup or sweet potato soup on top.

    I love spaghetti squash. I use it instead of regular pasta in most pasta recipes. I have added other veggies and sprinkle a little cheese on top and baked it. My boyfriend likes to layer it like lasagna.

    We eat this at least twice a month. I tend to cut back on the cheese. Delicious! If I have room for the calories, serve with scoops!

    Ingredients
    1 spaghetti squash ( 3 pounds)
    1 (14 ounce) cans Mexican-style tomatoes, undrained
    1 (14 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed

    Spray 1 1/2 quart casserole with nonstick cooking spray.

    take 1/2 shrimp and put it in a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Melt 1 tablespoon of light butter or light margerine in the microwave. To that add the juice of a 1/2 lemon (or whole depending on how lemony you like things) add chopped garlic, worstershire sauce and some Mrs. Dash lemon pepper. Dump over the shrimp and bake at 350 until the shrimp are done, about 8-10 minutes. Pour over cooked spaghetti squash! It is delish. This is for 2 servings!

    I have made a spaghetti squash lasagna. Just use the spaghetti squash in place of lasagna noodles then prepare however you choose to make lasagna. My husband is not a huge fan of spaghetti squash and loves this.

    I prepare it and then close my eyes and pretend it's pasta.

    I had a baked spaghetti recipe that I used spaghetti squash instead of pasta (and cut back on the cheese) and it was great. Will be making again.
