ISO Spaghetti Squash Recipes

[mish]

Most of the time I prepare the spaghetti squash and combine with butter, salt and pepper, a little nutmeg and sprinkle with Parmesan. Any new ideas out there, you care to share? TIA

How about simply pairing it with your favourite pasta sauce?

The first time I ate spaghetti squash was 2 years ago. It was from my friend's garden, and she used lots of salt, pepper, garlic, and butter, fettucini style. She did the whole thing in the nuke.
It was delicious.

after it's cooked is it firm enough for a sauce?

That's how I usually make mine too, Constance. Sometimes with a little nutmeg. Yum.

Maybe a light sauce. Any sauc(e)y thoughts?

I have to go with Haggis on this one. It's good with a marinara or alfredo sauce .... but I like it best with lots of garlic infused butter and a touch of cream.
