Any good spaghetti squash recipes?

Spaghetti squash is the coolest vegetable- the way you cook it and then when you spoon out the flesh it becomes all stringy, but I need a good simple recipe that gives it some flavor. When I tried one once, it didn't come out so good.

The only way my family will eat it is with chicken cacciatore on top. Yummy, but still Rolling Eyes

But to make the chicken, just brown some chicken (boneless breasts, bone-in pieces, whatever you like) in a large saucepan, then pour prepared pasta sauce over it, cover, and simmer about 45 minutes. Very low-fat and yummy.

You can do it with tofu too but it takes longer to brown it, and then you just simmer for 5 minutes or so.

Then serve over steamed spaghetti squash.

This is a recipe from Lucy ( she posted it a while a go)

Spaggetti squash salad :
1 spaggetti squash cut in half remove pits & bake @ 30 min.
2 carrots shredded
1 red or green onion shredded
3 green onions diced

let the squash 1/2 cool then with a fork scrape out, so that it will look like strands, add all veggies together then dress with:

a little mayo or oil (whatever you prefer)
1 or 1/2 squeezed lemon

Here is a kugel for you. My kids don't like kugel at all but for some reason this is the only one that passes with them!

Cut your spaghetti squash in half scoop of seeds bake for 30-45 min.
Let cool and scrape with fork to make strings.
Then saute onions and mushrooms. Mix everything together with a few eggs (3-4 depending on how big is the squash) little oil, salt, pepper.
Bake until golden, usually 30-45 min.

Enjoy!

thanx-will try it next week - if memory is working

We LOVE it and eat it all the time. We have it Italian style. Drizzle with EV Olive Oil, Garlic Powd, salt & pep - even good with a few sprigs of rosemary or your other favorite seasoning. Yum!
