Spaghetti Squash - 'Tis the Season
Yes, indeed. It is now the season for fresh young spaghetti squashes, for those with any interest in eating seasonally.
I detest the stuff. Can you persuade me to like it?

sorry, can't help you out there ... Tried it once and nobody here (my 5 kids, 3 step, 1 foster) liked it. They're all married off now and I'm open to trying it again.

i actually love it. the simpler the better just bake it with some olive oil, salt and pepper, than tops with parmasean cheese.

I'll second avryan's comments. I love it with olive oil, salt and pepper and tons of fresh parmesan. FYI-I tried to substitute it for actual spaghetti and put tomato sauce on it-not a good idea in my books...

What a challenge. I saw a ">great but simple recipe for spaghetti squash on Nook and Pantry that you should try out!

I didn't like spaghetti squash until I went on a food cleanse where we ate all manner of delicious squash varieties. Now I'm hooked. I posted a recipe for "Spaghetti Squash with Pumpkin Seed Pesto" a while back if you're feeling adventurous. :)

You guys are swaying me slightly towards maybe accepting the stuff, though it does still remind me of the man-eating plant in Little Shop of Horrors.
There's a pumpkin/butternut squash soup heightened with amaretto and amaretti that it might actually be good in as substitute for the other squashes, I'm thinking.

I've never tried spaghetti squash but I did make some delicata squash last night. Maybe someone could convince me to like that. They were awful. We cut it in rings and sauteed in olive oil then served with salt and pepper and some parmesan. We also took some and baked it with butter and brown sugar. I couldn't eat more than a bite of each. Yuck! Any suggestions? I've got two more. Right now, I'm leaning towards the garbage can!
