Spaghetti Squash With Onions, Garlic, and Herbs

Submitted by Rita1652

"This is a healthy, quick and easy dish. At least once you split the spaghetti squash in half. The rosemary, sage and thyme makes this side a nice, grounding and comforting veggie. Also the sweet sauteed onions and garlic lends it lots of flavor topped with grated parmesan cheese. Servings are either a side or meal. Once you taste it you will continue on to make a meal out of it."

In my microwave, the squash was done at 10 minutes. After scooping the squash from the shell, I drained it in a colander. I used dried rosemary and thought the end result was very yummy. I will certainly make this again. Thank you Rita!

I made this over the weekend - it's a good and simple recipe. Per other reviews I used fewer herbs. I did not have any nutmeg on hand, but believe it would add a nice twist. Thanks for posting an easy and tasty way to enjoy spaghetti squash, Rita

This was my first time cooking and eating spaghetti squash, and this was an easy recipe to prepare.

Substitute basil for the rosemary. I added sundried tomato to the olive oil mixture and then topped it with Italian cheese crumbles. Much better!!
