Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin

I increased the recipe for a potluck: I doubled the squash, garlic powder, sour cream, and cheese. I left the margarine and pepper flake amounts as-is, and used half an onion. (I almost always reduce onion amounts.) I didn't have enough sour cream, so I used cream cheese to make up the deficit; and I used butter in place of margarine. || Even with these pantry and taste accommodations, this recipe was AMAZING, with a light, balanced flavor. It was a huge hit at the potluck, and I will definitely make it again. Thanks for sharing!

Yum! I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious! I normally roast spaghetti squash in the oven but I used the microwave and it worked great. A nice change of pace!

Very good recipe. It's a little sweet because of the squash so I added extra salt and it was great. I will be making it again. Make sure to broil it so the cheese browns on top, that makes it very flavorful! *Even better as leftovers.

I grow spaghetti squash in WI, brought several down to FL. This was very good, and I’ll make it again. Severed under chicken cacciatore!! Yummy

I have been tired of making the same old "spaghetti and meatballs" with my squash so I was looking for something different. This recipe was amazing. I doubled it because I had a lot of squash from our garden, I am so glad I did. So delicious. I prepared the squash in the oven instead of the microwave because I like it seasoned and the roasted taste better.

My husband & I really liked this. I made it exactly as recipe is written except I punctured squash a few times before microwaving. BUT, to the review that suggested it was a good way to sneak veggies into your kids, that definitely didn’t work for my two boys. It was a no-go!

I will surely make this spaghetti squash, onion and cheese dish again. It is delicious, so easy to make and takes no time at all!. Thanks it was just what I was looking for, just as the recipe called for!

My company didn't like onions so I replaced it with fresh garlic. Really good, creamy and tasty.

Made this as written and will make it again. This is excellent and will certainly lend itself to creativity.

I just started trying spaghetti squash and I thought this was a really good recipe! I followed it exactly. I liked it a lot.

Very good!

Made this for lunch today and it came out great. My only changes were to cook the squash in the microwave to save time and I used mozzarella cheese since I had some I needed to finish up. Several testers had never eaten spaghetti squash before and they loved it! Will definitely make this again in the future as it is a great way to get more veggies in the diet.

I thought this was really good but had a little too much sour cream flavor. Next time I will reduce that or even use cream cheese instead

Absolutely delicious! I omitted the red pepper flakes all together because my mom isn't a fan of spicy. Even without the "spice" the taste was great! We will definitely be making this again and adding more cheese next time.

Family loved it! Probably will put it under broiler for a few minutes. Added extra cheese.

This was excellent! I made it as my main dish!

Really liked this but too much red pepper. Will add half as much next time or even leave out.

Left off peppers, used go veggie cheese and tofuti sour cream. Still turned out great. Would have given 5* except it didn't firm up quite as well as I thought it would.

I think I'll use less red pepper and cut the onions smaller. This was amazing otherwise =)

My husband and I do not like squash...but we sure liked this!! Used 1/2 cup regular sour cream cause that's what I had. This has a little zing!!

Hubby liked it but I didn't. I followed the directions, except for the pepper flakes. I thought the sour cream was too overpowering.

This is a delicious recipe! I used pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar per my hubby’s preference, omitted the red pepper flakes but otherwise made it as directed. Next time, still using pepper jack, I will include a bit of red pepper flakes for the extra kick. We are both looking forward to enjoying this dish again and again!

I followed the recipe and thought it was pretty tasty! My kids didn't really like it. Next time maybe I'll add a little cream of chicken to make it more like the au gratin potatoes to appease the little ones.

A different way to cook spaghetti squash. It has a good flavor but is a bit like over mashed potatoes. The texture may put some people off. I cut the pepper flakes down to 1/4 tsp. It still had some bite but not overwhelming. I will make it again.

Easy and yummy. Great main dish if 4 servings.

Delicious. Definitely will make again

It was ok, but not really good enough to make again.

This was amazing! I didn't add any extra ingredients but I was short on enough red pepper flakes so I added extra garlic powder. Also I just can't seemed to cook things in the micro for health reasons (I want all the nutrients) so I did opt for baking the Spaghetti Squash. 400 degrees for 25 minutes. It also gives a better flavor. I loved it so much I think I'll have to make this at our next family holiday!

I had this recipe saved for a while so I was excited about making it but a bit apprehensive about microwaving the squash to cook it, as I’ve always done it in the oven. It took a little longer in the mic but maybe because I turned the turn table off so the dish would fit.. only did 3/4 tsp red pepper flakes & I’m glad because that was plenty for my smaller sized squash. Used about 5 slices of kraft singles due to totally forgetting to pick up cheddar cheese at the store. Fresh grated Parmesan on top. So delicious with chicken parm and salad, I didn’t want to stop eating it! Thanks for the recipe, will be making again.

I made it exactly as recipe stated......delicious. Husband loved it!!!! Will make again.

Honestly, this was one of the very best spaghetti squash recipes I have ever tried. It will be a weekly staple in my house! THANK YOU!

I have never made Spaghetti Squash before despite seeing it everywhere this time of year. This was so good! Hubby loved it and just waiting for my son to get home for a try!

Surprisingly, very good! Since it was the first time I made this, I followed the recipe exactly as stated. Next time might experiment with some add-ins....(crumbled sausage, shredded carrots, spinach, cubed ham, etc). Served this with a side of salad and crispy garlic bread. Yummy!

This was pretty good. I may not have used enough seasoning. It definitely needs seasoning and cheese to kick up the flavor. It could be made better with more of both. Hubby thought it was "so - so". I would make it again just for the nutritional value it offers and reduced carbs.

Great!

Really tasty. My son, in particular, loved it. I would reduce the red pepper a little the next time , but thought it was great overall.

Made this for Thanksgiving & it was so delicious. Didn't want to eat the side dishes loaded with carbs & this recipe saved me from those. Definitely will be make this a lot!!!

tasted very good

This is an excellent recipe for spaghetti squash. I did do a couple of things differently, but the results were great. I roasted the squash cut side up with olive oil and spices drizzled on it until the strings started to separate. I used real butter (I never, ever use margarine!), a small red onion chopped, real garlic and only a small shake of red pepper flakes. Also used regular sour cream and cheddar (probably a little more cheese than called for). It turned out really, really delicious. I know it’s a higher fat content, but it is a matter of preference. The smaller amount of heat was good too, enough to notice and spice things up but not burn. Don’t forget leftovers will get hotter! Anyway, I’ll be making it again, in fact already on the menu for next week!

Super easy to make and it was delicious. I added chicken to it. Even my husband, who I've tried multiple spaghetti squash recipes with and he didn't like the others much- said this one was a keeper

incredibly delicious!! make! make! make!

This was great

This dish is REALLY filling! A small squash was too much for two people. I used left over onion, instead of what the recipe called for, so next time I'll add the recommended amount to up the flavor.

This has become a family favorite!

This was really yummy! The only thing I would do different next time is bake instead of microwave. My squash wasn't evenly cooked in the microwave, so I had to fork off the cooked parts in stages while continuing to cook in microwave. The finished dish is just spectacular though!

Loved this recipe. Used cayenne in place of pepper flakes, otherwise followed recipe. Will definitely make this again.

This casserole was amazingly delicious. It even reheated perfectly the next day. I will definitely make this again.

I cooked from start to finish in cast iron skillet. Came out good!

Wow, this was fantastic! I added about a cup of fresh chopped spinach leaves and used sharp cheddar. I only used about 1/2 cup of sour cream. A crumble of crackers or croutons at the end adds a nice contrast to the texture. I made this as a meatless main dish and I will make again and again! SOO GOOD!!!

This was fantastic and easy to make! Great low carb alternative side dish!

This was a good way to introduce the family to spaghetti squash. Everyone seemed to like it okay. I am one who likes spicy food -- the hotter the better. I followed the recipe and put in the 1 tsp of red pepper flakes. Even for me, I thought it was a little spicy for just being, what I thought, a family friendly side dish. It wasn't crazy spicy, but it was definitely noticed by the more 'spicy sensitive' dinner attendees. Overall, however, I thought it turned out well and would consider making it again (cutting back on the red pepper flakes).

This was surprisingly delicious! I didn’t think I was going to like it, but I will definitely be making it again. Instead of microwaving my spaghetti squash, I roasted it with a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper and cooked it skin side up in a 400* oven for 45 minutes. Once it cooled down a bit, I scraped out the insides and then added it to the other ingredients as directed. I didn’t have any cheddar cheese, so I used a combination of Monterey Jack and Gruyere.

This recipe was so so good! The only thing I changed was using non fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and using gouda cheese instead of cheddar. You can bet I will be making it again?? Thanks for sharing!!

Very flavorful and I loved the texture of the spaghetti squash.

I didn't add the pepper flakes, I will next time just didn't feel like it. I did, however mix in 1 cooked chicken breast, small cubed, and used med sharp cheddar cheese and jack cheese, and added 1/2 can of diced tomatoes for moisture and it came out fantastic! I couldn't get enough and was just as good the day after and the next day. I live alone, so I altered for 2 servings and it made 3 for me, perfect. And I also doubled the amount of onion, etc, and the cheese, half of which I put on top.

Delicious, will definitely make again! I also warmed up leftovers for breakfast and fried an egg and served on top, fantastic!

We normally microwave adding some butter, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. It turns out good enough for adults to eat, but nothing special. For the first time our youngest daughter thoroughly enjoyed eating spaghetti squash. She normally would only take a bite of the other concoction. My wife tasted it and commented it tasted like Potato Au Gratin. Then I revealed the name of the dish. We really enjoyed this dish.
