Spaghetti Squash

Simple and delicious!!!

This was SOOOOOO easy to make!! And this squash is so sweet on its own, you don't really need to add anything.

Very easy to make but I agree with others that the finished product is a little bland. You may want to add some s&p and other spices and definitely top with a nice, tangy pasta sauce. I added ground beef and mushrooms to the sauce and served it on top of the spaghetti squash and it was delicious. No complaints at my house. Also, when I microwaved the squash, I put it in a glass dish with water in the bottom to make sure it would cook in the microwave with some moisture.

I've been using a variety of squash for years now. This recipe, while being a little bland for me, was quite good once I added my usual garlic. My 6 year old and 2 year old loved the unusual flavor of the squash and never knew it wasn't another form of spaghetti. I had to cook the squash a bit longer (about 10 minutes or so) for my liking but it depends on how well done someone likes their vegies. I will continue to use squash for years to come.

I made the squash as directed, but topped it with pasta sauce. It definitely needed to be microwaved longer, it was pretty tough. If it was cooked longer, I think it would be a good substitute for spaghetti.

I was expecting it to taste different than squash. It was just like squash. It was easy to fix. Had a good taste for squash. Ah!! Ah!!

This was not cooked all the way and was crunchy. Didn't even try to feed it to my husband, gross!

my family loves spaghetti squash. my daughter prefers it with spaghetti sauce. i like it with butter and pepper. always nice to have an alternative to pasta that's quick and easy

Spaghetti squash is a healthful alternative for diabetics who cannot eat much pasta (because of the high carbohydrates in pasta). Low carbs and high fiber (higher than pasta). I substitute spaghetti squash whenever I want pasta and meatballs. This is certainly a welcome dish on a weeknight after work.

As far as taste goes, I don't think my husband and I are fond of spaghetti squash - it was good, but we prefer regular pasta. As far as cooking method, this was very quick and easy, the squash made beautiful strands. I would recommend, however, that you make sure you poke the fork as far in as possible to break the outer layer so that the steam escapes as it should. (I did that after the first 6 minutes, and I placed it in a shallow dish while microwaving.)
