This is great. I'm glad you showed how to do it in a microwave because I'm a senior and don't have the strength to cut the squash. This way I can start it in the microwave to soften it up and finish it in the oven.
getting my daughter to eat vegetables is the hardest thing I have experienced so far as a parent. I watched your first video about spaghetti squash and decided to make it because she loves spaghetti so much. we now have it once sometimes twice a week. better yet she asks to have it for dinner almost every night! I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for making these videos they are extremely helpful
You have taken one of the simplest recipes since boiling water and shown it in a straightforward and entertaining manner. The sound, lighting and presentation are first rate. I will check out your other videos and probably subscribe. Tonight I’m using some leftover Mexican braising sauce I had from a top round steak. Glad I found you and spaghetti squash.
Made spaghetti squash tonight, thanks to you! Topped it with some kale that had been sautéed with shallot, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, lemon, rosemary, crushed red pepper, and olive oil. Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about roasting the seeds! They're awesome! I also roast pumpkin seeds & butternut squash seeds. We'll mix them together and I honestly can't taste any difference between them!
How do you do that? I have not roasted seeds before from squash and I have these very ones in my garden right now. I would love to know how you roast the seeds.
just recently started making Spghetti squash. I usually just add some cooked chicken or shimp into it and since I eat it at work I reheat it with a bit of butter and it's amazing. I even got my cousin to start eating it after she tried mine. then my mom tried it and now she's addicted. my cousins girlfriend has 2 twin 4 year old boys and even they liked it!
I use the spaghetti squash as a base and put a curry sauce with oven toasted Cauliflower cheese bites on top ... my "non-veggie loving" eat it up!! Thanks for the ideas y'all!!
Having arthritis in my wrists, spaghetti squash is too hard for me to cut in half, uncooked, but now I know it can go into the microwave uncut solves this problem. Thanks!
Thanks for the 101! I have never tried spaghetti squash, but have wanted to for some time. Now I feel like I can try it with a little confidence. Thanks!
Thanks for the info. My neighbor gave me squash out of his garden. I boiled w/onion ,fried it, and then was told it was winter spaghetti squash.😄 "Now what ?", I asked myself. Although it was pretty good my way, I'm very anxious to try it the real way. 😇 Plus, I think you answered all my questions.Good job !
Your channel is a blessing! thanks so much for these Clean and Delicious meal ideas. I love that these substitutions do not compromise the tastes and textures that I love! God bless you Mrs. Dani Spies! :)
Love it! I always forget about spaghetti squash and tend to work with other squash choices. I need to go buy one very soon. Love the roasting option more than the micro because it does taste a lot better.
What fantastic videos! Ideal for learning how to cook. This looks very nice. Thanks very much! I look forward to seeing more of your helpful videos. Keep up the brilliant work!
thank you so much. I will be going to the store to get some spaghetti squash and I'll be making meatball and marinara to go along. thank you so much for the recipe
Thank you for uploading this! It was very informative. My boyfriend and I have been living with his mother who's trying to avoid carbs like pasta and I really wanted to try making pasta squash for the family but I wasn't sure where to even start!
Oh! Also, earned a subscriber. xD It was very easy to follow along with this so I subscribed and I'm going to check out your other videos for some ideas ♥
Love that Chili idea! I love it with spinach,goat cheese and bacon. I grew about 17 in my garden this year. You can also cut it in half with a little water in the crockpot let that go for 5 hours.
Hi Dani thanks to you I even tried baby bok choy and spaghetti squash. My favorite is spaghetti squash topped with shrimp scampi or garlic butter sea scallops
I am going to try the spaghetti squash and marinara with meatballs (I am going to use ground turkey) that was a great video in every essence. Thank you 🙂
I came across 2 spaghetti squash volunteers in our yard from discarded seeds from last year. I am going to to try your recipe of chili on spaghetti squash sprinkled with cheese! Are chili is homemade so I believe it is going to be very good!
I received a few of these squash, was going to throw them away. Search TH-cam, and saw your video. Now I won’t be throwing them out. Thank you! Thank you!🙏
I recently read of someone who cooked spaghetti squash in a slow cooker with a cup of water on low for 6-8 hrs. Not a bad idea for those who work & want to come home to already cooked food. To extend the cooking time for a longer work shift & have it not be overcooked, start with the squash & cooker liner pot cold from the refrigerator & it will be about a 9 hour cook time. I haven't tried this but plan to give it a go one of these days. Also, because of what high heat can do to the quality of EVOO, I would use either avocado or coconut oil for roasting. Just my personal choice.
I love spaghetti squash, but hesitate to cook it because it is so hard to cut. I've always done it in the microwave, but I was told to cut it in half and set it in water to cook. I'll have to try poking the holes this time. That seems so much easier! Thanks! :-)
I tried it tonight, and it was SO MUCH easier this way. Too bad my spaghetti squash had gone bad and it was all mushy inside. Either that or I overcooked it. I'll definitely be cooking it like this from now on. :-)
Hi Dani this was a great video, we don't have spaghetti squash here in Australia 🙁 I wished we did as I'd love to make some great recipes. I love that spaghetti squash Chili you made, looks so good.
I came on here because I didn't know what spaghetti squash was as I don't think they sell it here in Cyprus, we grow butternut squash here and that's all I've ever seen and weird shaped pumpkin squash in winter. I'm going to search for this in the city though as its looks so versatile
I've only made spaghetti squash once. It seemed to take forever to bake, but that could be because we were feeling impatient. I need to try again. It really is a nice tasting veggie.
fun trick... if you cut the squash width wise instead of length, you get longer strands. harder for microwave use though. also, i read this can be cooked then frozen for winter meals... but i havnt tried that yet.
Great video. I'm new to spaghetti squash but not new to the kitchen. I find that the sweetness of the spaghetti squash squash runs a tad contrary to Italian dishes. In other words trying to make a sweet food savory. Therefore I tried it as more of a sweet alternative like oatmeal as an example typically you would put sugar or brown sugar or something along those lines on your oatmeal along with a little bit of salt and let me tell you this spaghetti squash with a little bit of sugar or Xylitol and some butter oh my goodness it is fantastic. I haven't given up on the Italian dishes utilizing the spaghetti squash but it is good as a sweet treat
Great video, though I remember reading once that if you cut them horizontal and create rings, you get more of the "spaghetti" part out. Have you ever tried it that way?
I have one that was the last one in the store. it's white with only traces of yellow. I think it's not ripe so I googled how to ripen them. Supposedly putting them in the sun helps so I am riding around with a 3lb spaghetti squash on the dash of our truck. Good times... lol
EscapeTheMadness....THAT'S HILARIOUS! Thanks for the good chuckle! : ))
6 ปีที่แล้ว
NO!!! No lights! Mine from my garden weren’t ripe so i just let them on the countertop! I bought a ripe butternut squash and put it with them and the riping process was so faster!
I had spaghetti squash for the first time last night. Those things are TOUGH to cut, lol. But it was really worth it once it was done. I was surprised at how absolutely delicious it was, and it’s versatile. I had it with red pasta sauce but it would go well with a creamy white sauce or just plain with some seasoning and olive oil.
Thanks for this!!! I'm going back to counting WW points plus...and loosing that sugar weight I've put on recently. I wonder if cooking the spaghetti squash in microwave then re-roasting the strands on a backing sheet, with some oil and spices will make the squash strands caramelize a bit?
We love spaghetti squash but I have been cooking it wrong. I always put it in the oven with water and it comes out water logged. lol! I am trying it roasted in the oven today. I have swiss chard too. Thanks
We make spaghetti squash meatloaf. I cut the spaghetti squash lengthwise and then put my turkey meatloaf in the bowl part of the squash and let it cook in the oven. The juice from the meatloaf soaks into the spaghetti squash and flavors it. You don't want to use a meat that has a high fat content as the squash would get too soggy. For serving, we cut a slice of it and serve it. At the table, the individuals pull the squash skin off and flake it out into the spaghetti like parts. It is always a hit with my father in law, who lives with us, and my kids (8 and 11).
I love your 101 videos! Could you do one on (unrefined) coconut sugar? I see it in lots of healthy recipes but don't understand why it's better than white/ brown sugar
This is great. I'm glad you showed how to do it in a microwave because I'm a senior and don't have the strength to cut the squash. This way I can start it in the microwave to soften it up and finish it in the oven.
So glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
Love this video! The end made it even funnier. It happens to the best of us. Finding day/s old food in the oven. 😂
getting my daughter to eat vegetables is the hardest thing I have experienced so far as a parent. I watched your first video about spaghetti squash and decided to make it because she loves spaghetti so much. we now have it once sometimes twice a week. better yet she asks to have it for dinner almost every night!

Thank you for this great, no nonsense video. Just what I was looking for!
I really like it with spinach, sausage, parmesan cheese and tomatoes. I even got hubby eating it.
That sounds delicious!

I will check out your other videos and probably subscribe. Tonight I’m using some leftover Mexican braising sauce I had from a top round steak. Glad I found you and spaghetti squash.
Never bought a spaghetti squash in my life. Now I know everything I need to know to cook one up. Thanks for all the info!
Yay! Anytime!!
You just blew my mind with that Swiss chard! Double veggies and, it looks so good😋
I definitely want to try this with the chili! I've been so scared to buy one, but I think I'm ready!
You HAVE to try it!
It is tasty and for an extra Mom Bonus my non-veggie loving kids like it too!
I just found you! I’m so excited!
Love your recipes.😊
Made spaghetti squash tonight, thanks to you! Topped it with some kale that had been sautéed with shallot, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, lemon, rosemary, crushed red pepper, and olive oil. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow! That sounds delicious!!
Well I definitely will try the pasta sauce with meatballs first! Thanks for the great videos! You are a culinary inspiration.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about roasting the seeds! They're awesome! I also roast pumpkin seeds & butternut squash seeds. We'll mix them together and I honestly can't taste any difference between them!
How do you do that? I have not roasted seeds before from squash and I have these very ones in my garden right now. I would love to know how you roast the seeds.
Barbara Rickman You just toss them with oil and salt and roast them at about 350 on a sheet pan. It takes about 5-10 minutes.
Still referring to this in 2020! Thanks Dani!!

SPAGHETTI....Mmmm I've been hesitant to try spaghetti squash. But u made it look tasty and fairly easy... Thank you...

I love using it as pasta for shrimp alfredo. I just add alfredo sauce, shrimp, and maybe some avocado on top. Super yummy.
Perfect timing....have one on the counter and going into the oven soon. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
this will be my first , or second, time cooking spaghetti squash. Roasted method looks really good!

Try the desert spegatti squash, cut in half, clean, butter and brown sugar inside, use the oven until cooked like a bowl, yummm.
loved this - I think #2 is the first I'll make!
I like how you cover everything I need to know on how to buy, cook, e.t.c. thank you👍 new subscriber
I just had meat sauce over microwaved spaghetti squash. I enjoy it more then pasta. Thank you.
Dani thank you so much for all these great ideas! you inspire me to eat clean every day. keep up your work)
You are so welcome. Thank you for being here.
You are my go to squash lady.
My family has loved to simply put salt and pepper on it or we even put a little bit of maple syrup. My husband likes Italian dressing on his
Wiow! Can't wait to try these recipes!
I love spaghetti squash, but hesitate to cook it because it is so hard to cut. I've always done it in the microwave, but I was told to cut it in half and set it in water to cook. I'll have to try poking the holes this time. That seems so much easier! Thanks! :-)

Bummer! You would love them!
***** I know 😐
I just did this tonight, it turned out great, thank you! :)
I like how she talks
I enjoyed that video. Nicely done. I would try the roasted squash
I made this type of swash before and it's good a pain in the ads to prepare but good
I find the oven method to be far better as you mentioned the flavor is superior, great video!
Delicious. Do you have a video for a homemade meatball recipe 🙂
Never had Squash before, now I want to try.
Yes! Try it! Its so good.
Love this! Can't wait to try this soon
Enjoy!
I like the chili mac idea!
It's really good!!

with marinara sauce and home made meatballs I think I will try first
Yum...I prepared my first spaghetti squash in a crockpot, it turned out great!!😀
Awesome!!
Giirrl! Amazing recipe!!
I've only made spaghetti squash once. It seemed to take forever to bake, but that could be because we were feeling impatient. I need to try again. It really is a nice tasting veggie.

Going to make my regular spaghetti sauce, cooked overnight with blue crab claws that’s gonna be yummy
I love spaghetti squash! It is a good way for me to eat more veggies.
Definitely ;)
Great video, though I remember reading once that if you cut them horizontal and create rings, you get more of the "spaghetti" part out. Have you ever tried it that way?
I haven't, but a few people have mentioned it so I'll have to give it a try! Thanks for sharing.
u r amazing thanks for all ur videos
I cook mine in my instant pot. Works great!
Awesome!! Sounds great :)
I have one that was the last one in the store. it's white with only traces of yellow. I think it's not ripe so I googled how to ripen them. Supposedly putting them in the sun helps so I am riding around with a 3lb spaghetti squash on the dash of our truck. Good times... lol
LOL! Thats hysterical!
EscapeTheMadness....THAT'S HILARIOUS! Thanks for the good chuckle! : ))
NO!!! No lights! Mine from my garden weren’t ripe so i just let them on the countertop! I bought a ripe butternut squash and put it with them and the riping process was so faster!
YUM!!! Thanks for the tips
:)
Thanks! I learned a lot.
you are amazing , I loved this video!
Awe, thank you!!
Use a basting brush to spread the olive oil on your squash before baking.
I had spaghetti squash for the first time last night. Those things are TOUGH to cut, lol. But it was really worth it once it was done. I was surprised at how absolutely delicious it was, and it’s versatile. I had it with red pasta sauce but it would go well with a creamy white sauce or just plain with some seasoning and olive oil.

Thank you!! 😊 💕 👍
If you cut the squash cross wise rather than along the long axis you'll get longer strands. This is possibly my favorite squash!
I love your 101 videos! Could you do one on (unrefined) coconut sugar? I see it in lots of healthy recipes but don't understand why it's better than white/ brown sugar
