Spaghetti squash is one versatile veggie; it’s nutritious and
tastes good too!
However, it probably doesn’t get all the love it deserves. It has a delicate buttery taste, without
adding butter; making it a healthy substitute for pasta, if a person is limiting
carb intake.

This is a creamy dish, that’s easy to pull together. If you’ve never cooked the squash, this
is a good recipe to start with!
Next time, I will be adding more garlic…

We enjoy spaghetti squash here, but generally use it with marinara sauce. This is a new option. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeletePam,
ReplyDeletethis dish a good healthy alternative to many calorie laden dishes, especially during the holidays. I will have to try soon. Did you have giant snowflakes this morning? We did here, but they didn't last long.
Love spaguettis and with garlkic sounds delicious!!
ReplyDeletePam, We like spaghetti squash and we serve it several times during the fall and winter. We've never tried it like this though. We usually just season it and bake it...then slather it with some good Amish butter! I like the creamy effect that your recipe achieves though... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good, I cooked a spaghetti squash for the first time in over 35 years the other day, and I will definitely cook this squash more often.
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, I almost bought one of these at the farmers market last week, love how you prepared this!! Pinned!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. I just baked off a big Halloween pumpkin yesterday and he shredded as well. Good stuff, these kinds of foods and I agree with you, they don't get enough love.
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteI could eat it a lot actually:)
I love spaghetti squash, and this is a new way for me to fix it. Looks yummy! :)

I hate to admit we've never tried spaghetti squash. It would be fantastic for my BIL who is diabetic. I just may surprise him next time we have him over for dinner. It sounds delicious Pam.
