Well, for those of you who have not tried spaghetti squash instead of pasta for spaghetti, I highly recommend it. Pasta makes me fiend so I tried this several years ago with trepidation because most of the low calorie or alternate foods to be 'healthier' to me are not acceptable. I would rather do without than ruin something I like but have to just eat occasionally. I am having it now.
I make it sometimes but we had to decide (as a family) that is was its own thing, not a spaghetti substitute. I roast it in the oven, then toss in a super unhealthy four cheese (and something else? spinach maybe?) Alfredo sauce. Then I top it with sautéed spinach, basil, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes THEN another layer of cheese and brown that in the oven. Even the kids love it.
