This makes a great zero point Thanksgiving side dish. Spaghetti squash is so versatile, it can be eaten alone with salt and pepper as a side dish, it can be drizzled with butter and cheese, or it can be topped with tomato sauce to replace your favorite spaghetti dish. Here is a basic recipe for baked spaghetti squash.

  • 1 ripe spaghetti squash
  • salt and fresh pepper
Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and fibers with a spoon. Place on a baking sheet, cut side up and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350° about an hour or until the skin gives easily under pressure and the inside is tender. Remove from oven and let it cool 10 minutes. Using a fork, scrape out the squash flesh a little at a time. It will separate into spaghetti-like strands. Place in a serving dish and serve hot. Print this recipe

Gina,

I just made this last night, too! I have a lot leftover. Any good ideas?

It's great with a little butter or olive oil, some chopped fresh herbs and some really good grated cheese like parmigiano reggiano. Or add some chopped plum tomatoes, fresh parsley, part skim mozzarella and a little parmigiano reggiano and have it for lunch.

We live in Melbourne Australia, I have searched high and low for a spaghetti squash and no one has ever heard of it. Where can it be found? Does it have another name?

I'm not sure. It is seasonal so maybe it's not available this time o year in Australia? I would ask in a specialty store out by you. If not, maybe you can purchase the seeds and grow it?
