Imposter of sorts.

Does it ever happen to you that you hear of something for the first time, and then it's just.. everywhere? 
..Well, spaghetti squash is that thing for me.


There's a really cool gluten-free blog that I'm following online lately: Gluten Free Blog  One of the recent articles was about how versatile spaghetti squash can be.  A month or so back Scott and I tried spaghetti squash at a restaurant and it was pretty fantastic.  [I think it was prepared with a little butter and seasoning]  It wasn't the best new thing I had ever tried, but its potential was exciting to me.  

There's this younger girl at church [who also has a gluten issue] and she's been raving a bit about spaghetti squash.  She rattled off a couple ways she prepares it.  Of course it was all new to me and I was quickly lost in the excitement.  Something about baking it and shredding it like pulled pork.  I guess it can be a tasty substitute for pasta.  We'll just have to see, because I'm pretty picky about my Italian dishes.  So it's a good thing I've found a fantastic gluten-free substitute.  Farmo Pasta!  

So I'm pretty excited to try spaghetti squash, but I don't know where to start.  I'm still pretty reluctant to believe in its ability to replace real pasta, but I'm open-minded. 
My plan is to buy some this week and start experimenting.


So have you ever had spaghetti squash?  
If so, would you be willing to grant me some direction? 



Any help would be appreciated.

  1. I'd suggest try anything crispy or fried. Those might be great.

  2. Here's a site I found that has a recipe for a gluten-free spaghetti squash "pasta" dinner that's supposedly really good:
