Every once in awhile I stumble across spaghetti squash recipes that call for substituting spaghetti with spaghetti squash and dousing it with tomato sauce. As if the kids wouldn't notice that their "spaghetti" is suddenly a completely different texture and has a strange non-pasta aroma to it... I must admit that I am very skeptical of those recipes, partially because I know that spaghetti squash can be incredibly delicious. For instance, this spaghetti squash recipe calls for a melted butter and Moroccan spice mixture. It is amazing. The spaghetti squash gets richness from the butter, smokiness from the cumin, a hint of spice from the cayenne, and then a blast of freshness from the cilantro. Now I'm not an expert on what kids will and won't eat, but wouldn't you rather serve them (and yourself) something delicious?
