The first time I tried spaghetti squash was this past year during my birthday dinner. I order some scallops and they came served over a bed of spaghetti squash. Needless to say, I saw the light and have never looked back when it comes to this delicious orange/yellow dish!
Spaghetti squash could certainly be served as a side dish in its own right, but it's usually paired with something else. For this night's dinner I served some fresh salmon over a bed of it. It also pairs well with scallops.
MMMM Yummy goodness!
My version below is a very basic one that can be paired with a variety of other ingredients. Add some tomatoes or olives and feta in place of the parmesan if you're looking for a slightly different flavor.
In closing, I'd like to point out that I had a TERRIBLE time getting my squash sliced open. Maybe I just got a stubborn one, but be aware that you might need a really sharp knife and some serious elbow grease :)
