Both cooked about the same :) It is one of our favorites! I will be sad when the season is over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-1530641 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 18:23:41 +0000 petunia354 1530641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Ain't nobody got time to roast it in the oven. Slice that sucker in half, scoop out the seeds and microwave it (sliced side up, covered in plastic if you can) for approx 15 min or until you can pull spaghetti like strands out of it with a fork! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-1530639 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 18:22:30 +0000 petunia354 1530639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Good luck! I'm not a squash person but I find I can eat this pretty easily if I top it with a meaty spaghetti sauce, sloppy joe or other heavily flavored/spiced meat or sauce! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-1530637 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 18:20:36 +0000 autumnlove 1530637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: I am going to make a meat sauce but I'm not sure if I should cook the squash in the microwave or oven. Any suggestions? :-p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-1530626 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 18:16:36 +0000 Running Elley 1530626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: How are you making it?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-1530601 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 17:57:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1530601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: what! You never tried it!

I think I used greek yogurt instead of sour cream too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321251 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 16:14:34 +0000 LAGS 321251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use spaghetti squash as a sub for pasta every time I make my spaghetti sauce. We actually have half a squash sitting in the fridge leftover from the other night... thinking I might try a sautee kinda like @crash806: suggested now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321237 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 16:07:09 +0000 tororojo 321237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought one the other day out of curiosity and it was easy to prepare! I didn't love the taste; I think it needs a pretty hearty sauce instead of veggies/olive oil/lemon like we used. Save the seeds--you can roast them just like pumpkin seeds and they are delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321205 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:49:03 +0000 Foodnerd81 321205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE spaghetti squash-- but I love all winter squashes. It's really hard to cut, so I poke a couple of holes with a knife tip or something and microwave just for a couple of minutes, which softens it up enough to cut it in half. Then I scrape out the seats and roast it for however long-- whatever google says. Then scrape out the insides with a fork and eat like pasta. It tastes different than pasta but delicious, and not really like winter squash, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321171 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:25:27 +0000 lavender 321171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: We've done it at 375 for an hour for a regular ole oven. We tend to undercook it a bit so we can let it cook a bit longer on the stove w/the tomatoes and beans.</p> <p>@autumnlove: We've done spaghetti squash with a meaty sauce before, doesn't have the same effect as pasta but taste good in a different way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321168 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:20:53 +0000 yin 321168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: It doesn't even taste like normal squash, which I love. I think meaty pasta sauce will do the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321163 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:19:19 +0000 autumnlove 321163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: I don't like squash at all...I'm afraid! hahaha. Hopefully, I can hide the taste with a meaty pasta sauce? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321162 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:17:43 +0000 yin 321162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've tried it twice and wasn't a fan. It tastes weird to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321155 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:14:05 +0000 Mrsbells 321155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never had spaghetti squash... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321153 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:13:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 321153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crash806: We just learned this trick with Acorn squash! I can't wait to cook all kinds of great squash this fall now that I know I can cook quickly. I also have a convection microwave (can act like a convection oven and you set to a degree). Any idea what the baking time would be for a convection oven? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321140 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:07:58 +0000 lavender 321140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easiest recipe: poke holes and nuke in microwave for 10 mins. Scrap out squash and satuee with a can of diced tomatoes, a can of white beans and a ton of garlic. YUM! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321133 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:02:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 321133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is also a Bonefish copy cat recipe for some honey ginger spaghetti squash that is really good! I made it for thanksgiving last year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321127 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:58:06 +0000 JoJoGirl 321127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made my first one last week! If you google "how to roast spaghetti squash" a bunch of simple recipes come up. Basically cut it in half while raw (BE CAREFUL - there are videos on youtube showing you how!), spoon out the seeds, then place facedown on a baking sheet with a little water and roast at 350 for 30 mins (or something - I can't remember the specifics). After it's cooked just pull out the cooked squash with a fork and it will break apart and look like spaghetti. We ate it with spaghetti sauce and frozen meatballs from Trader Joe's and roasted broccoli! Delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321122 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:55:04 +0000 T.H.O.U. 321122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was one of my LO's first foods that was her favorite! There is a lot of liquid to it (almost like applesauce) if you put it in a food processor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spaghetti-squash#post-321118 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:53:57 +0000 autumnlove 321118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought one yesterday at Trader Joe's but I'm scared to cook it. Lol.</p> <p>Have you tried any spaghetti squash recipes? </p> [attach=1791/12/mba7fc.450x600.image.jpeg]
