In the interest of full disclosure, I will note that I had never had spaghetti squash before I made this recipe. The sauce forms the basis of this rating, however, since it could be seen as a "universal" sauce, usable over any number of different bases. This was alright, but nothing spectacular. If I make this again (I probably will), I will leave out the capers and perhaps substitute something like mustard powder in its place.

The sauce was great. Kids asked for it again, but on "normal" spaghetti.

This is the best spahetti squash recipe ever. I made many modifications-- according to what I had. I used cooked chicken breast meat instead of turkey (2 small breasts cut up). I used 1 cup diced tomatoes and 1 small jar of marinara sauce, which replace the red wine. I used roughly 2 C of diced onions and diced tomatoes. No capers. It turned out great!

This recipe is really, really good! I was looking for something different and I found just that! I don't think it would quite satisfy a pasta craving, as the squash has a very different texture, but it was still delicious! AND, it's good for you! Can't beat that. Served with some homemade bread. I'll def be making this again.

the sauce is really good, hard to believe it is so low sodium. Would be good used with lots of other things: grains, pasta, or crepes.

This was really good and fresh tasting. I made a few modifications...left out the green onion (didn't have any), used dried seasonings instead of fresh (didn't have any), added some leftover shitake mushrooms when I cooked the onion/garlic mixture, used ground chicken instead of turkey (didn't have any), used about a tablespoon more of wine than called for, added a little salt at the end. This was so easy, healthy and quick. Even my teenagers loved it!

Healthy and delicious. I used "chili-ready" diced tomatoes because that was all I had, so I omitted the oregano and the red pepper. I will try it next time with regular crushed tomatoes.

Omg, the best ever! I loved this! My boyfriend was very anti-squash before this and he's a convert now :)

My husband is on phase 1 of the South Beach diet. This was a great recipe for him and he loved it! It was a good way to curb a pasta fix and we didn't feel super full as we would have with the equivalent amount of pasta =)

Pretty good. I prefer my spaghetti sauce with spaghetti squash instead of this recipe so it wouldn't go into my regular rotation. However, if I was looking for something in a pinch and had all the ingredients for this dish, I'd make it again.

This was an extremely good recipe. I ended up cutting the spaghetti squash, placing them cutside down, and microwaving them on high for about 10 minutes before scooping out the flesh. I also omitted the turkey, as I used this as a side dish for a meaty pizza. This was delicious and healthy, my two favorite things!

Great way to use spaghetti squash. I used diced tomatoes (a whole can) and 1/2 small can tomato sauce. I also added an extra tablespoon or 2 of wine an definitely cut back on the peppers. There is no reason to bake the squash. Microwave times I noticed in other reviews are too long...will produce a "mushy" squash. For a small squash, microwave about 7 minutes, face down, in about 1/4 cup water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Next time I will add spinach to the recipe...what could be bad?

Excellent! Adding to my rotation. Note that the squash produces a lot of juice which will water down your sauce. Scoop the squash into a strainer over the sink to reduce the juice. Also reduced red pepper by half and used diced tomato with jalepenos to add layers to the sauce.
