Submitted by Wendy0

"I don't care for using spaghetti squash like it's spaghetti pasta, but this way makes an awesome side dish. I use other cheeses sometimes. When you're done with the squash, you can roast the seeds for a yummy snack, too!"

Loved the addition of the eggs, I also used Asiago and burrata cheese, omitted the breadcrumbs and it turned out wonderful!
