What Can I Make With Spaghetti Squash
I’ve been intrigued by spaghetti squash ever since I was a little girl. My Mom grew spaghetti squash, as well as other varieties, in her garden and fascinated us with the magic that happens when she cooked this particular squash. It looks like any other squash when you cut into it and scoop out the seeds and stuff, but after it’s cooked, take a fork and start loosening up the ‘meat’ of the squash and see what happens. You turn your squash into strands of ’spaghetti’ that you can use just like noodles. This is really fun to do with kids, especially if you don’t tell them ahead of time what’s going to happen.
My Mom would usually just treat the spaghetti squash like real spaghetti noodles, scoop them out and serve them with butter and Parmesan cheese… a favorite for us kids. She didn’t get too adventurous with different sauces, I think because we kids were happy with what we had, so why push it. Now, as a grown up, I’d like to explore some other sauces that would be complimentary with the flavors and texture of the spaghetti squash ‘noodles’. I’m guessing you can make a traditional spaghetti meat and tomato sauce and serve it over the spaghetti squash noodles. Are there some herbs or spices that are particularly tasty with spaghetti squash? Have you tried anything with spaghetti squash that would make it stand out from any other squash dish?

White Sauce like Alfredo Sauce is nice to the Spaghetti Squash. It has a mushroom, ham, bacon and cream. Just put seasonings like chicken broth cubes and chopped parsley. It’s a delectable dish to enjoy.
