mix it with meat sauce like the recipe here: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2008/09/squash-gnocchi-with-meat-sauce-recipe.html

Roast in oven with some oragano and Basil, and a bit of butter. If I feel decadant I switch the butter out for a bit of bacon grease.

Since this was such a popular thread, I'll add another recipe, one which I found here on SE! I've now made it a few times, and have eaten it as a main dish, as a side, and (this morning) in a frittata...

Spaghetti Squash With Ricotta, Sage, and Pine Nuts
- serves 4 -
Adapted from The Kitchn.

Ingredients
1 small spaghetti squash (about 2 pounds)
3/4 cup part skim ricotta
1 clove garlic, mashed
Olive oil (about 1/2 to 1 full tablespoon)
6 to 8 fresh sage leaves
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

Procedure
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. Pierce the whole squash in several places with a knife or fork, place it in a baking dish, and bake until flesh is tender (easily pierced with a fork), about 60 to 75 minutes.

3. Remove squash from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a little bit of oil in a small pan. Quickly fry sage leaves until crispy but not burnt. Crumble sage leaves into a large bowl and combine with ricotta and garlic. Set aside.

4. Cut squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Pull a fork through the flesh to separate and remove the strands from the shell. Add to bowl with ricotta mixture.

5. Combine squash and ricotta mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper.

6. Sprinkle with pine nuts before serving.

Agree with the recommendation for pho, whether you're feel something coming on or you're just hungry for one of the greatest soups on earth.

Whenever I feel that sick feeling I immediately start with taking EmergenC. I get mine @ Walmart! If I take that 4 times per day I usually can fight it off. I was on vacation one time in Disneyland and had a 101 fever for 2 days, but with the EmergenC I was able to make it thru the day pretty well. I also find that taking a nice hot bath in the evening before bed, along with my EmergenC does a good job to help me sleep.

EmergenC is a powdered vitamin/minderal packet that you can just in an 8 oz glass of water, or I add mine to a small water bottle and drink it that way. Hope you find something that helps you!

I generally look at the amount of fat and protein. For some reason my eye has been trained to look at those lines first.

I always check out the fat grams, protein and carbohydrate, calories, and just how miniscule the serving size is. I rarely use packaged food, so don't pay too much attention to the actual ingredients.

I agree with Liartist, I like to check out the ingredient list first. I use the nutrition information to decide if a food is a treat or an everyday food.

I also like to check out the kinds of fats, and if the food is high in iron.

The January Martha Stewart Living has a terrific recipe for sauteed scallops and spaghetti squash. check it out.

It is a waste of energy if you do it everyday, but in the exploration of creativity it is, basically, tuition costs. The child in all of us must be free to create without constraints. Who knows what discovery will come of taking a 'wasteful' ride out into the unknown? It's not like everyone is going to begin making a single breakfast egg for each day by turning on their oven at night before they go to bed. Think, Garyo, think! Just be realistic instead of so afraid and you'll be fine.

I've done this a few times. It totally rocks and is ever so tasty. You can also do them in a crock pot set to warm....

I think I am excited to read it.
