TRY IT AGAIN – I made spaghetti squash with lean ground turkey meat, bertolli’s garlic basil sauce, and sauteed with lots of onions and garlic sauce. It was DELICIOUS. The meat made the difference. Try it again making your own meat sauce with it. This is a healthy vegetable with lots of folate in it – important for women in their child bearing years.

[...] This is all too reminiscent of my spaghetti squash experience here. [...]

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who disliked the “substitute”. Yuck. I like your line about “masquerading as a substitute when you’re so much better as an original” Really true.

You crack me up A!! Love the photos! I LOVE SS. But then again, I grew up eating it. Perhaps that is why??

DITTO.

I tried it and had to really doctor it up to make it taste yummy. (http://losergirlrescue.blogspot.com/2009/10/sickness-and-success.html)

Maybe seeing it as something easy to add to pasta is a better use, or only with strong sauces…good try though!

You know what else doesn’t stack up? Freaking mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes, that’s what. Now, I love steamed cauliflower. Love it. But when you puree the stuff and add pepper, you’re not fooling me into thinking it’s mashed potatoes – NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT – and you’re ruining the cauliflower’s wonderful texture.

Hmph. Give me a big ol’ spoonful of cauliflower, and a little spoonful of mashed potatoes to satisfy the craving, and I’m fine. Let’s stop pretending.

OMG these two spaghetti squash posts are a riot!
Sorry you didn’t dig the squash. I’ve had it before, thought it was pretty tasty, but to each her own, eh?

ahhh – I’m so BUMMED you didn’t like it! I totally love it, Carlos would even prefer me to make spaghetti with the squash instead of regular noodles!

LOL this is too funny- I’ve found that microwaving tends to equally more “gelled” strings… I’d rather pop it into the oven and wait…

I also HATE it with marinara- I like to make a “dressing” with 1 part EVOO, 2 parts lemon juice, and lots of oregano… then I toss with some feta cheese… It’s helps with the whole “this is not spaghetti thing”
