Do any of you kind folk out there have an interesting recipe for spaghetti squash?

Question

My family and friends love it the way I make it with spaghetti sauce, but I am kind of looking for something a little different. Thanks in advance for your thoughtful answers.

Answer 1

We love it as a side dish for anything we happen to be grilling that night. Take spaghetti squash & slice in half length wise. Scoop out seeds & add 1/2 stick butter to each half along with a clove or two of fresh garlic sliced. Bake @ 300 til done, then scoop out the flesh & serve sprinkled with fresh chives....Yummy with grilled pork or chicken!!

Answer 2

SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Serves 4
Provides 3 vegetable servings per person

When spaghetti squash is cooked, the inside takes on a thread-like texture-similar to spaghetti!


1 spaghetti squash (3 cups)
2 cups prepared low-sodium spaghetti sauce
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese


1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wash the outside of the squash and pierce it a few times with a fork. Set on a baking sheet and bake 1 hour or until very tender when tested with a fork. Cool.

2. Cut the cooked squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Take the spaghetti-like threads out with a fork and place in a baking dish. Toss with the low-sodium spaghetti sauce and mushrooms. Cover lightly with aluminum foil. Return to the oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until well heated through.

3. Scatter with parsley and Parmesan cheese and serve with a piece of bread and a salad for a hearty meal. It also makes a very tasty side dish with fish or chicken.

Answer 4

It sounds great with spaghetti sauce. As a side dish, I like making all kinds of squash real simple. I'm used to doing this with regular yellow squash, I cut horizontally in half. Lay out on flat baking pan. Sprinkle and rub olive oil on top, sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika for color. Broil it for about 10 minutes till when you stick a fork in it - the fork goes right through and doesn't lift the squash up out of the pan. I don't really like food "al dente", I like it tender, but that's a matter of preference. This is just my idea but here's a link specific to spaghetti squash:

Answer 7

I like it cooked, then mixed with brown sugar or maple syrup, then put back in the shell and broiled for a couple minutes, if you put a little brown sugar on top, it crystalizes.........it's very good with poultry.
