Good morning Sherri!
I get the feeling you’re a high energy gal. ;D And I like the way you think! So efficient, cooking ahead from work. Genius!
What other tricks do you keep up your sleeves?

My kids and I love this stuff. We eat it everyday. My daughter is asking for it before we get out of the car, when I pick her up from school.Yes, she’s normal. At work I cook A whole one in the microwave. I eat half and save the other half for the kids( hey we got to save time somewhere. Why not cook half of your dinner at work if you can?)Anyway, we sautee some fresh veggies and herbs, add what ever sauce we have, make a light mixed green salad and tea.SOUP’s on.We are more than satisfied. Once a week we may add a little reduced fat cheese(yummy). My friends love it too. I even made some for my boss’s daughter and I still have a job. Her words:”Delightful and tasty” and I wasn’t trying but lost 10lbs by use this pasta replacement.Which wasn’t what we going for. And yes we eat meat but not much anymore because the squash is sooooooooooo GOOD. LOVE IT.

I really like the taste of spaghetti squash. Besides just putting spaghetti sauce on it, we like it tossed with a bit of butter, garlic and parmesean, or pesto sauce. I’ve used it in a lasagna in place of the noodles and it turned out sooooooooo good. You have to adjust your baking time on that of course, it doesn’t take nearly as long to bake. I use it pretty much like I would use any pasta in a recipe. Because it doesn’t really have much of a taste on it’s own, it’s great to absorb whatever flavors you pair it with. Please, please, try it again!

Well Orphy, now you’ve done it. I’m hungry. ;D
Alright, I’ve read enough to go buy another squash. I’ll roast it in the oven and see what I get. I think I’ll try a thicker sauce loaded with vegetables just for good measure.

I’m a newbie to spaghetti squash, but I roasted it in the oven at 400 for about an hour. Scraped it out, drizzled it with some olive oil. Tossed in a little garlic, salt, and pepper. Topped it off with some feta cheese and diced tomatoes. I thought it was delicious! )

Thank you Randi!
There is nothing wrong with the way you eat spaghetti squash. It seems to be the preferred arrangment. So long as you are enjoying the flavors of real food and you're eating your fruits & veggies, you can't go wrong.

Have fun today!

Hi Mark!
First, thanks for letting me know how you found me, Google is great source.

Second, I had not considered eating spaghetti squash with a brown sugar syrup over it. That’s how I enjoy my sweet potatoes, or sweet tators, depending on where you come from. Thank you for the idea!

Does anyone else eat their spaghetti squash this way?

Just googled this page…

I love Spaghetti Squash. I think it has a slightly sweet flavor (all by it’s self) and a wonderful texture. I’ve never eaten it like pasta. I always eat it baked or microwaved (for about 15 minutes) and with butter and salt and thats it.

I will also make a brown-sugar dressing (1/3 cup REAL brown sugar and 1/3 stick butter) and pour over the cut up (into cubes) squash and then nuke it for a few more minutes (and then there’s a liquid gravy-sort in the bottom of the dish that you can pour over other foods). It’s fabulous.
