I just made this dish and I didn't really care for it. As much as I love cheese, this particular squash just doesn't go well smothered in cheese (at least the one recommended in this recipe. I have used spaghetti squash as a substitute for spaghetti when I have made spaghetti, meatballs and marinara dish. It was fine when i sprinkled Romano on the finish product like I do on regular spaghetti. With that said, again, I just didn't like this squash smothered in cheese as the main base...

Oh my god....so so good! And yes, I too opted to Roast my Squash as there is such a huge difference in flavor! Delicious just the same, but roasting does soooo much more! This is my 2nd time making this dish and it just keeps getting better! Thanks Rachel!

Delicious, but I would highly recommend roasting the squash for about one hour or until tender; lightly coat the cut side of the squash with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in a 400 degree oven (no water necessary. Roasting caramelizes the squash and adds so much more flavor to the dish, not to mention that you don't lose all the good nutrients that are leached out in the cooking water.

Just lots of butter and cheese will make this rich and delicious. Butter just really brings out the squash flavor.

This was very tasty. It went very well with Giada's Roman chicken. It's a little bland on it's own but works well paired with sauce.

I was really excited to try this recipe...MAJOR disappointment, I was better off eating the squash plain, it had a delicious taste on its own.

I made this tonight as a side dish. It was delicious! I used butter instead of OOV. Even my husband and kids loved it.

We love spaghetti squash in our family! We grew them in our garden this summer and I'm searching for a new way to make it for thanksgiving. I make my recipe very similar, minus the cooking water as I roast my squash. I think I may give this one a try.
