My husband made a "Oh no, what'd she make for dinner this time?" look when he saw the spaghetti squash being served with meatballs. Surprise! My kids (3.5 & 1.5) gobbled it down with the meatballs and labels it "delisus". We adults enjoyed it immensely too. I would serve this on its own only to a dietetic, health-conscious person. But it makes a great family dinner as a sub for pasta if served with good, saucy meatballs or the like.

I hoped to give this 5 stars because it sounds wonderful, but even with suggestions from others it just isn't quite there for us.....yet. Microwave is the way to go for sure. Much less time and no loss of taste or texture for the squash. I microwaved cut sides down in 1/2" salted water for 12 minutes for an average size squash and it was perfect. After adding it to the onion/garlic saute I tasted and found a bit of blandness as others had said. So I tried the dried Italian herbs someone had mentioned. It made for a nice aroma and added good color to the dish....but. The squash itself tasted great and we love the texture, but the rest of the flavors just weren't right for us. Next time I think we will use more butter, no garlic, no Italian herbs, and maybe a touch of brown sugar. We usually don't go the sweet route but think it might be just what this needs.

I roasted the squash the night before, which made this a pretty quick and easy veggie for us to have with lunch today. That said, I was the only one who would eat it, my husband took one bite and passed the rest up, and my children would barely taste it. I liked the part with the onions the best, most bites just had plain squash and I found them to be rather bland and the texture wasn't my favorite. I was excited to try this, but won't be making it again, I guess we are just not a spaghetti squash kind of family.

This was fabulous-full of flavor. I did steam mine in the microwave for 10min (each half since my micro is small) and used grapseed oil (all I had on hand) and a table spoon of butter. This was great, the kids ate all gone on their plates! They thought it was noodles too!
