Spaghetti squash - what goes with it?

Sep 21, 2012 07:41

Due to a slight mix-up about veg box deliveries, I now have an abundance of many things, and in particular, not just one but two spaghetti squashes. I've never seen one of these before. The veg box came with instructions on how to roast it, which look easy enough and I intend to use tonight, but adding a bit of oil and some herbs to a squash doesn't seem likely to me to turn it into a full meal.

What would you serve with a roast spaghetti squash?  Do I treat the "spaghetti" as if it were pasta, and add sauce?

Are there other interesting things I should try out with the second one, while I have the chance?

Looking at the vast veggie surplus here, will it freeze?

Dietary restrictions - not much milk or cream, yoghurt and cheese are OK. Nothing excessively spicy.

Edit: Thanks, everyone! Squash no. 1 has been roasted and treated as a pasta substitute with a tomato-based sauce, and it was nice. Much finer strands than I'd been led to believe, and as people said, kind of "crunchy" compared to pasta.

I'll look through the other, less "standard" options for Squash no. 2.

vegetable: squash
