Spaghetti Squash

Submitted by DaniellaBella

"My husband loves this recipe! Some might think the combination of brown sugar and parmesan cheese sounds odd.... but the two ingredients go VERY well with the spaghetti squash. ENJOY! (I never actually measure the ingredients... so feel free to add more or less of whatever you want to your tastes!)"

I really loved this recipe. It was so easy to make and I loved the combination of flavors from the fresh cracked pepper, brown sugar and butter. I tried it with both a pinch of freshly grated Parmesan on top and plain, and actually think I like it better without the cheese. I think that some fresh herbs from the garden would be a great addition and will be making this again soon.

I wanted to like this bc it was so easy, but I really didn't like the flavor combo and neither did my 2 y/o.

I had left over spaghetti squash from another recipe, so I tried this. We loved it! I wish I had known this recipe for cooking the squash, because my squash was more on the mushy side.

I thought the brown sugar/parmesan cheese combination sounded odd, but it was delicious! I was short on time so I microwaved the squash and I used Splenda brown sugar. It was so good :)

Good recipe! The cooking instructions worked out perfectly. The squash came out nice and tender but not too squishy. The flavors were great too. A surprising and delicious combination.
