I tried spachetti squash about a month ago, and it does not taste anything like pasta to me because it has a sweet taste.  I tried it with traditional spaghetti just like I always make, only using spaghetti squash.  My husband would not eat it either.  Now, eating spaghetti squash as spaghetti squash is another thing.  It is good as a vegetable, but my taste buds do not believe this tastes like pasta.

Spaghetti Squash rocks my world! But I can never find it in the UK!!

I love to use my spiral slicer with summer squash and zucchini to make noodles, too! Delicious!

Spaghetti squash is the best thing ever!!! It tastes BETTER than pasta, less heavy, and just as filling! Since I'm vegetarian, I tend to top it with meatless marinara/pasta sauce, crumbled goat cheese/feta, and basil. YUM. So delicious. I can't get enough of it. :)

Yup. And don't forget the Asian flavors, too! I like tamari with sliced scallions and bean sprouts and grated ginger on it.

I think it would be so much better if you lost the beef, substituted ground turkey/chicken or chopped squash. Also...I just don't understand the use of "egg substitute"...why not use an egg white? This whole recipe just doesn't do it for me...spaghetti squash just doesn't seem to work and I believe a serving of whole grain pasta is really good for you. Just my thoughts...doesn't mean I think I'm right :-)

I agree it's sweeter then pasta I hate it with tomato sauce, but have had it with a prime era stle butter sauce with peas and carrots and with pesto, both were very good butter and brown sugar works too as sort if dessert pasta

Me too - I don't care for using spagetti squash as a pasta alternative, or at least not with a tomato based heavy sauce.  It is a great veggie all on its own or with a light pesto, ginger-based soy, simple olive oil with fresh basil or other spice/sauces combo.  Also interesting in combination with other fresh veggies - adds an interesting texture to other squash medleys!  

I have a marvelous spaghetti squash lasagna recipe with layers of squash, a layer of primavera sauce and a layer of no-fat mozzarella and parmesan cheese - repeat.  The points for WW are extremely low.  I LOVE SPAGHETTI SQUASH!!f  And the fact that it add sweetness, is just fine with me!

I tried spaghetti squash Friday and I thought it was better than pasta. My kids liked it too. They thought it was a interesting how it was made. Leftover squash can be used to make a great cream soup also.

Thanks for sharing.  I will hunt it down in the grocery store and give it a try.  Might be to my taste. 

Now that sounds GOOD!  YUMMERS

Great recipe-might want to edit one step.  The seeds from the squash can be used like pumpkin seeds, only better!  I rinse them and put them with a little salt and water and microwave them.  They toast up quickly (5-7 minutes stirring after every minute) and are more tender than pumpkin seeds are generally.

I adore spaghetti squash! It's so much better than pasta :3

Too bad I can't send you some from Sunny New Mexico!  Are you sure you can't find it at a local green grocer? Maybe if you ask the green grocer will know a farm where you can get one...........or grow your own!

My wife turned me on to this a couple years ago. Once I accepted the idea that this dish is a different dish altogether, that is actually quite tasty and a healthy aternative, I was sold. And still am!
