This medium Spaghetti Squash could easily serve 6.
Step 1: Boil it for about 30 minutes.
Step 2: After letting it cool for about 20 minutes, cut it in half and scoop out the seeds and goop in the middle.
Step 3: Take a fork and scrape the sides. It is amazing how it just comes out so easily and looks like Angel Hair Pasta.
Step 4: Pour your favorite sauce on top and let it simmer till hot. (I used this Zesty & Spicy sauce for the first time and it had a great spicy kick!)
The finished product! Sprinkle a little parmesan cheese and wa-lah! You're done. FYI, if you're a Weight Watcher's guy or gal, I counted this as a 3 point meal. A cup of the spaghetti squash was right on the line of 0 and 1 point, 1/2 cup of this sauce was 1 point and I made my own garlic bread (2 pieces of the WhiteWheat bread with no-calorie spray butter and garlic salt!) which was 1 point.
So... I liked it, Jay liked it, and it was REALLY easy!

Well, aren't you fancy? Did it taste like spaghetti or squash? You go girl!
It tastes like spaghetti!
Yumalicious!
Hey! Now I know what I've been doing wrong--I never boiled it first. Cool! I will try this one again.
I see you are in Trussville. We lived there in Carrington for 3 years before we moved back to my hometown. Thanks for visiting my blog!
p.s. I loved your San Fran posts. We went last year. It's a beautiful place!
It's also REALLY good with just butter, salt and pepper! You can also poke a few holes in it and cook it in the microwave. I forget how long though, but that's how I always do it.

I have never tried this but have often thought of it! And how great so low in points!! Thanks for following my blog, amazing how many friends you get to meet through blogging! Love your blog, the layout is beautiful!!!
Hi Jill, Thanks for stopping by BCH. I may have to use that spaghetti squash recipe (just diagnosed w/type 2 diabetes...Yuck) so trying to watch the carbs. We lived in the SF area for 4 years in the 80's. I bet you guys had a blast. Isn't is just breath-taking? I think it's time for us to go back!! Rhon
That looks awesome
Thanks for visiting my blog Jill and for your sweet comment.
The spaghetti squash actually looks really good. I'll have to try it some time...
i must admit, it was pretty good...i've never had this before and i was fairly impressed with jill's cooking ability.
I just re-visited this post and realized how stupid my comment sounded. We don't eat it raw--I baked instead of boiling the squash. LOL!
Anyhow, that seemed to make it kind of tough and it took FOREVER to get done. I will try the boiling technique. :)
