Mmmm. Spaghetti squash.
Just as long as it isn't overripe, seedy, watery gift zucchini. Don't get me wrong, I love zucchini. Some of the small ones, no more than an inch and a half in diameter sliced and braised with olive oil, a couple of tablespoons of water, garlic, fresh oregano and basil. Salt, pepper and a grating of parmesan cheese at the end. That is my favorite vegetable. But the zucchini most people give away resemble water balloons in content and flavor.

We only steam or fry the small zucs, as you describe them ... if they are a little larger I stuff with meat and cheese and bake them ... and all of the ones I don't catch early and they get big get grated and frozen for zucchini bread during the winter. Simple recipe: cut zucchini into small planks; dip in italian dressing; roll in a mixture of seasoned breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese; bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
What is your favorite sauce or seasoning mix for baked spaghetti squash?
Gosh, I'm getting hungry!

How do you fix spaghetti squash? It is something I can get by the bushel for free, along with butternut squash. I have never liked it the ways I’ve fixed it.
