I'm making spaghetti squash for the first time tonight and was wondering if anyone has any good recipes or tips on making it. I've heard you can actually use spaghetti sauce with it. Is that really good?
I'd also love a good pork chop recipe if anyone has one! : )

Re: Spaghetti Squash
Another one I like is from cooking light, not sure on the name, but dice up a whole yellow onion, two tomatos and saute them in a tbsp of olive oil, once that is done add in 2 tbsp of chopped garlic, slowly stir in low fat or fat free whipping cream to make a creamy sauce to liking, pinch of salt and pepper or other seasonings for taste (if you want it thicker mix some cornstarch with water then slowly stir that in until you get consistency you want). This recipe calls for making cajun shrimp but we grill chicken boobs with cajun seasoning then cut into slices and top over spaghetti squash or regular noodles. Then top with parmesan cheese.

[QUOTE]I don't think I've ever had spaghetti squash before. How is that possible? Is it delicious? Does it taste like other kinds of squash?

No its freaking good! I hate other squashes. Its simple to make too. I just cut them in half, scrape out the seeds, put the halves upside down in a cake pan, put about an inch of water in it, oven on 400 for about 45 mins depending on the size. Once its cooked you fork it out into strings almost like spaghetti
Danser: That recipe looks delicious!
