Tastes as good as it looks! I have my replacement for regular spaghetti. Mmm!
(I used Italian seasoning instead of just oregano.)
Guess I need to give you an apology. I made this last night, I did add mushrooms (because, I can’t go without them!) and used Daiya cheese (plant based here!). I haven’t had spaghetti squash since I was a child where I declared I didn’t like it but I’ve been retying foods. When I dished it out, I didn’t hold much hope, even telling my dog she might get to eat it. However, with the 1st bite – made me a spaghetti squash convert! This will be going in my regular repertoire – thank you!
Haha Helen this makes me so happy!! I’m glad it changed your mind about spaghetti squash!!
