Spaghetti Squash With Parmesan Cheese

“I’m a firstimer, and I’d like to thank you for introducing me to a new favorite!! Stuck to your directions and it turned out AMAZING! I think two writers need to adjust cooking times according to squash size, perhaps checking progress midway through cooking time would be prudent, too long = mushy, too little = hard to scrape and crunchy, go figure.Thanks Lali”

“This was really good. I did add a little half and half to make it creamy and it was perfect. I loved the easiness of making this. Will make again.”

“This was very good! My first time trying spaghetti squash and I will be trying it in other recipes.The squash’s flavor is mild so the flavor of whatever you add to it, or have it with won’t be compromised at all.I had mine with a side of steamed broccoli and a chicken breast!Yummy!”

“awesome and delicious – loved the microwave tip too – made the whole dish fast and yummy.Thanks!!”

“Heaven.And it’s good for you!Try this for breakfast.It’s great.”

“My youngest teen daughter has been making her spaghetti squash like this forever.She eats practically the whole thing all by herself!”

“We really loved the simplicity of this delicious dish.It was fast and easy, with ingredients we always have on hand and tasted wonderful!DH and I ate the whole squash ourselves!We will definitely be making this again.Thanks for posting.”

“This is really good.I added some paprika, both for color and flavor, and it was great.My squash took 1 hour at 400F, then I added the butter, cheese, salt and paprika.Great dish!Thanks for posting.”

“This recipe is simply delicious. I had spaghetti squash just once before, using a red sauce and didn’t care for it. I decided to give it another try after reading this recipe. It is wonderful! Since it keeps it’s slight crunch (why IS that!LOL) it , to me , goes better with the simple fixins of butter , Parmesan , salt and pepper. I could sit and eat the whole squash this way! Thanks for a great way to fix my newest favorite vegetable! :)”

“Love it Love it Love it!!!I think this is my newest favorite vegetable!I love the taste of this, it is great.What I did change was the cooking (like a prev review): 1 minute in microwave to pre-heat the squash, cut in half and scooped seeds, then in the mike again for 11 minutes facing down on a plate with a bit of water, and scraped with fork once complete. Thanks!!”

“After a lot of work scraping things out, we both took one bite and then tossed it in the trash. The “spaghetti” was crunchy and didn’t like the flavor at all. First & last time I’ll try spaghetti squash. “

“This recipe was easy, but I thought there was way too much butter.I put in between 1/4 and 1/2 cup and I thought that it and the cheese just overpowered the squash.It just tasted like parmesan and butter to me, (but that isn’t all that bad!).So…it was simple and tasted good, but I probably won’t make it again.”

“This recipe is great.It is easy.There is a quicker way of cooking spaghetti squash.Cut the squash in half and put in a shallow microwave dish.Add water to cover the bottom of the dish.Cover with plastic wrap and cook on high for 10 minutes in the microwave.Comes out perfect every time.I saw this on the Food Network.Saves alot of time and you don’t have to use the oven.Great if you live in Arizona, or don’t have alot of time. Enjoy!Arizona Susan”

“I made this for my neice, as she had been mentioning wanting spaghetti squash…but I had never made it.She loved it!Thanks for the recipe, Lali.I had a squash that was about 9″ high (I’m guessing 5 or 6 pounds, and it took at least 90 minutes in a 375 degree oven.Other than the varied cooking time, everything was super simple, which always make a dish more enjoyable.”

“RE:Texas Kelly’s question aboveSquash come in all sorts of odd sizes. You may have had a small squash. The one I used was about ten inches long and 4 inches in diameter. It didn’t quite cook through at one end but on the whole I liked it.So did the other family squash eaters.The non-squash eaters?Too bad for them!”

“I am 58 years old and made it and ate it for the first time ever. I loved it very much. I made it with the Parmesan cheese and butter.Then I fried up some peppers and onions beef cubes and tomato sauce and put it over the squash.very good. Chef #203081”

“Not quite sure what I did wrong. I followed the directions exactly, poked the holes in the squash, baked it for an hour, and when i cut it open and tried to scrape it into noodles, it just mushed. Did i cook it too long? I don’t know. It was my first time cooking squash. I won’t review it at this time, since something obviously wasn’t right, but i don’t know if i’d really be inclined to try it again anyway. I think i’ll use the remainder of squash for some squash bread.”

“easy to make- I never had this food before-it was a nice change.”

“a very tasty alternative to pasta.for those on the low carb diet this is more of a treat than a substitution.thanks!”
