How To Choose Spaghetti Squash Recipes Your Entire Family Will Love

By Roger Jones


If you are trying to be more healthy one of the best ways to do so is by improving your diet. Vegetables such as squash can add a lot of great flavor, fiber and vitamins to your diet. The key is to pick recipes that use these ingredients in ways that your family will enjoy. Here are tips that you can use when looking at spaghetti squash recipes in order to find ones that suit your family's tastes.

This vegetable has bright yellow or orange flesh that looks like spaghetti noodles, which is where it got its name. It is highly nutritious which is great for kids and low in calories which makes it good for people who are watching their weight. Best of all, it can be added to many meals which is a benefit if your children do enjoy eating it.

Make sure to keep it in a cool place so it stays good for as long as possible. You will want to cook it before using it most recipes. Check the instructions of existing recipes in order to tell how they prepare it in it's raw state. Then, once you have it so that it is ready to use you can begin to get creative.

Because it can be prepared so many ways it can be a bit overwhelming to choose one particular recipe. It may be easier for you to start out with a recipe that is a bit more simple and then work up from there.

Do you know whether you want to use it as part of a main course? It can make a great central dish especially if you are a vegetarian or vegan. You can also use it as a versatile side dish as well. If you want to use it as a main course, consider filling it with chili, beans and fresh herbs. It can also be baked into a gratin if you want a more filling side dish.

Are you planning a dinner menu or one for a different meal? You can serve spaghetti squash no matter what time of day it is. A breakfast bake that includes eggs, meat and vegetables may be a great way to start your day off.

Do you want your meal to be vegetarian or are you okay with ingredients like meat and cheese? A good vegan dish could be curried spaghetti squash that uses different herbs for lots of flavor. If you are okay with cheese and want to add some protein you could always use cooked spaghetti squash and add in goat cheese and walnuts for extra flavor.

If you have your squash and are ready to start using it then it is time to look for recipes. Most cookbooks will have at least one of them in the vegetable section but if you want more variety you can always look online.
