You can add whatever spices you like to it in order to change the taste of it. Some of our personal favourites include adding chili powder and sautéing the veggies in Catalina salad dressing, adding tex-mex seasoning and using spicy oil, or using flavoured canned tomatoes like Cracked Black Pepper.
The base recipe is provided here... you can experiment with your own flavourings, or just make it as is which pairs really well with chicken parmesan!

Wow, looks as though tonight has it's culinary fill for me! I do a lot of spaghetti, so this is a wonderful recipe!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! It makes a really great alternative to traditional spaghetti and the spice/flavour combos you can try out with it really are pretty well endless.
DeleteSarah, that sounds wonderful. I'm going to save your recipe for the times we just don't feel like starch and meat. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Veronica. We've added chopped up sausage to it before to make it a complete meal, or we'll serve it with Chicken Parmesan or a Stuffed Chicken Breast sometimes too. It also makes a nice vegetarian meal on its own though as well. Enjoy!
DeleteLOVE spaghetti squash recipes! Haven't made one in a while, but you're inspiring me for one of my next "What's for Dinner? Wednesday" healthy meal posts. Thanks!
