I'm an avid lover of Spaghetti Squash now. I pierced my squash with a fork all over, then microwaved for 5 min before baking in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes and my squash <br/>came out perfect. Thanks for posting such an easy recipe.

Tastiest Spaghetti Squash recipe I've found. And such good nutrition, too. I look forward to trying this with different fresh herb combos in the future.

My 'spaghetti' was WAY too al dente for the time given in this recipe. I cooked it in the oven for 55 minutes, and then had to cook it on the stove for almost 30 minutes before it wasn't overly crunch. I also think it needed more juice (or maybe veg stock) and less parsley.

This was so good. I added some mushrooms (I saw them as an ingredient in another recipe and thought it would be a nice addition). Thank you so much for sharing. My family really enjoyed it. I will be making this again.
