But the idea doesn't seem to have caught on, because I never see them sold like that. You're right that the mature squash can be rather bland, but it sounds like yours would be delicious with the garlic and tomato sauce!

I know what you mean about it not being that filling though. It leaves room for dessert! All that butter and garlic sounds just perfect! I know what you mean about it not being that filling though.

Tastes a bit like a lasagna, and keeps you full much longer too. I like to bake my (already cooked) spaghetti squash with ricotta and parm.

For a more belly-satisfying result, try mixing it with real spaghetti -- or beans, perhaps refried, with a little Mexican salsa. I use it fairly often.

Huge fan of squashes but never really played around with spaghetti. Bad memories of growing up and mom just serving it plain but thankfully gave us a ton of butter to make it edible. Nice!

She thought it was another sneaky way to get us to eat veggies. Little did she know we would all turn out to be foodies lol! Anyway outside of garlic oil and parmesan cheese, I have had it sauted with other roasted veggies in a ragout form, and I have also had it sauted in a skillet with some poached eggs on the side (think alternative to hash browns) I just love finding new foods to try! Your pictures really invite viewers to want to go out and try it. My Mom served us spaghetti squash in the 70's we actually grew it. She thought it was another sneaky way to get us to eat veggies.

Now I feel really guilty for letting that locally grown spaghetti squash (2 big 'uns, even) go to waste. Just a couple months too late! Oh, drat.

Foodycat made it into a carbonara in her post today & I think that sounds good. I typically make it like you did or just with some butter as a side.
