I have discovered spaghetti squash. I first heard of it a few years ago when my sister was on the Atkin's diet. She mentioned spaghetti squash in place of pasta. I thought her a fool. Sounded gross.
Turns out spaghetti squash has really mild flavor. When cooked in a microwave properly, you can shred it into pasta like strips. Last night I made fettucini alfredo for my family. Instead of the pasta (for me) I subbed in spaghetti squash.
Honestly, it was really good. Could I tell the difference? Absolutely. Nothing beats real fettucini alfredo. But was it a close second, you bet.
And the other night I made it with just some onion flakes, salt, pepper and a bit of butter. Really good - it's kind of sweet.
I bought two more at the store this week.
PS - when you microwave it, cut some slits in the skin before hand. I forgot to the second time I cooked one and the explosion was so loud I thought a wreck had happened out on the highway.
