I've made hash browns with it, with it being a substitute for potatoes. The slightly sweet taste worked well for that purpose.

I've got a decently-sized spaghetti squash here. I'm going to season some of it Moroccan-style , but I really don't know what to do with the rest of it. I've put it in Thai curry, but I'm not in the mood for that this week.
I'm not a huge fan of the idea of using it as a pasta substitute. Pasta to me should be fairly bland--a canvas for the sauce. I'm of the opinion that squash recipes should nod to the fact that squashes are at least slightly sweet. (Yes, I'm picky.)
Go!
At least I don't leave slime trails.

I think most of my spaghetti squash recipes use it as a pasta substitute. That being said, using it to make an approximation of pad thai is one of the more interesting and tasty things that I've done.
Hmmmm, hash browns. Does it crisp up nicely? I really never have liked spaghetti squash for just the reason you say - wrong taste for pasta, wrong texture for squash. But hash browns are a possibility.

They did crisp up fairly well when I tried it. The texture matched that of potatoes much better than I would have figured. And I LOVE hash browns, so it was nice to have a healthier version of it. I sauteed some onions, then added the cooked squash.
Owlie, I'd love the Thai curry recipe!

It's not really a recipe, but it's really easy, Luvmyguys. Chicken (or tofu, if you so choose), various veggies (I like onion, carrot, bell pepper, snow peas and broccoli; I happened to have spaghetti squash around that day), coconut milk, Thai curry paste (because I am lazy) to taste, and fish sauce. Brown sugar is optional. Saute chicken, add less-delicate veggies, then the coconut milk and curry paste, fish sauce and sugar. Cook until veggies are a little less "done" than you like, then add the delicate veggies. Let those cook, and you're done!
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Bump. I'd like to try spaghetti squash too just not sure how to use it.
Or you can use it in this recipe:

Everyone seems to LOVE this stuff.

I made some fritters with it once, and the recipe called for you to squeeze the water out after you cook it but before you make the fritters or hashbrowns. It worked quite nicely. You do it with a tea towel or such and it reduces the quantity by about half. It tells you here how to do it! http://empoweredsustenance.com/perfe...ns-gaps-paleo/

At the aquarium a couple weeks ago, I saw that there were chunks of it in the tanks.
Preparation? Probably just a simple salt water marinade.
