I found s biggest loser recipie for spaghetti squash with avacado pesto. I have modified it a bit to make more but it is still super low cal

1 avacado
3 -4 tbsp parmesian
hanf full of basil or parsley or a mix...make sure tyou wash it well. i ended up with sand in my sauce once.
1 clove of garlic
salt and peper to taste
warm water about 1/2 cup


I put it all in my mini processor pour half the water in a hi tthe button. Ad a bit more water if you need to to make it creamer

Love spaghetti squash. Was one of my faves when I was a vegetarian. If you want something freakin' awesome, try this!

1 spaghetti squash (poke holes in it with a knife or fork, microwave for 15 minutes or so in a plate of water, flip halfway)
Yellow onion, garlic, fennel/anise, tomatoes, basil, EVOO, salt, pepper, and a little Parmesan.

Get the spaghetti squash going, and throw in your onions and garlic and anise to a little heated EVOO. Get them to a nice golden brown color. While the onion, garlic, and anise is browning, dice some tomatoes and also take the squash out of the microwave and split it in half. It will be super hot so be careful. Take the seeds out and then start scraping the inside with a fork to get the "spaghetti" out.

Throw the spaghetti squash in with your onion, garlic and anise and let it cook a little longer, add in seasonings. Add tomatoes and some fresh basil last and then top with a little Parmesan! Soooo good!

you can float some strands in soup, lilke a fake noodle.

My aunt introduced me to spaghetti squash when I stayed with her over the summer a few years ago. I remember she pulled two huge squashes out of the fridge, and them put them in the oven and baked them. She cut then open horizontally, handed me one (yes, the whole squash!) and she poured a can of spaghetti sauce over it. We both pigged out on our own squash, and my god it was one of the best things I've ever eaten.

Have not had spaghetti squash in years. I used to love it. Thanks folks!

I use it in any recipe that calls for spaghetti, fettucine, or angel hair. I don't like pasta so this was a great find for me. Mine and my kids' favorite is low carb spaghetti and meatballs. I stuff the meatballs with mozarella cheese and spinach instead of using bread crumbs to hold the meatballs together and I make my own sugar free sauce so it's low in carbs. I also like to sautee the spaghetti squash (after I bake it) with evoo, basil, diced tomatoes, shallots, italian sausage and mushrooms for a nice low carb lunch.

I recently tried Spaghetti Squash, it has made a place in my menu as well. I just have it on the side. I did chicken cabobs on the grill. I ate the chicken, bell peppers, pineapple, and onion all together.

I tried it for the first time this week. I love it with just some salt and pepper and a drop of fried onions. I also made this:
