I made spaghetti squash tonight and served it w/spaghetti sauce.

My dd and I loved it! It came out like angel hair pasta & was delicious.

Has anyone else discovered this??

I also make spaghetti out of spaghetti squash! I haven't made the meal in awhile though.

Yes! I love it even with just a little butter on it! I've eaten it since way before I even heard of celiac ... it was just one of those strange foods my mom made when I was a kid, and I continue to make today.

I like it too! My dh likes it better than pasta. I also like to use the leftover squash by sauteeing it in olive oil with some garlic powder and then adding a bit of romano (sheep milk) cheese right before serving.

I eat a lot of spagetti squash too. I make an Italian marinara meat sauce to top it with or sometimes I just toss it with a little olive oil, sea salt, and other seasonings/herbs.

I tried it for the first time about 2 months ago. We liked it--I made it with Ragu sauce. I should make it again :D

I'm not sure where I've been, then, cuz I just heard of it last week. She took it for lunch today :D I hope it survives in the thermos!

She was so excited to have a "pasta".. can't have the wonderful Tinkyada pasta and doesn't like the quinoa-corn pasta.

Next time I make it, I may just make a few of them and ditch the wheat pasta that the rest of us have been eating. I'm finding that we are more and more becoming entirely gluten-free.

Ooh I love that stuff too. I cut it in half and bake it for about 30 minutes. It's really good.

Have been eating it for years....long before I'd even heard of Celiac. Yummmy! Anything I'd do with pasta, I've just about done with Spaghetti Squash.

Hi guys, what's actually Spaghetti Squash?

Just curiosity: I'm Italian, still living in Italy. I like to make fresh homemade spaghetti using atraditional extruder ("torchio"), which is a press. You mix the flour mix with egg and e.v. olive oil, you work the dough out for 5 min then you extrude it... and that's ready to boil!!!

spagetti squash is from squash, and you get all the little "håir like" pieces out of the center, and can serve them. At least I think that is what it is.

My mom made it once and it was really good!

I could never boil my spagetti squashes because so far the ones available at the store have been HUGE, I wouldn't get it in a pot!

I have a question, is spagetti squash considered more of a starchy vegetable like a potato or turnip and etc., or is it more like zuchinni and summer squash as far as carbohydrate content??

Spagetti squash IS considered more of a starchy vegetable; a carb like veggie YES!

It doesn't taste like any other veggie...

I tried spaghetti squash for the first time last night. I made a sauce with ground elk, spinach and tomato paste. It's so good. I can't eat rice or corn so I happy I found a substitute for pasta.

You can cut it in half or quarters with a cleaver first, and then it will fit into a much shorter pan.

Ok, good to know. Would it get all watery or something with the insides exposed and submerged by the boiling water? Maybe I am not invisioning this right, I assumed when they say 'boil' you boil the whole thing, uncut in a huge pot submerged in water.

Well, don't submerge it, just put enough water in the pot to steam it. It takes about 15-25 minutes, and you'll want to check once or twice to make sure there's enough water (about an inch) so it doesn't go dry at the bottom. And it won't get soggy, but it's nice to let it drain in a collander. (I generally use a sauteuse pan for this, which is about 3" tall, which is why I use this method. ;-) )

Thanks for clarifying this. So basically you just do it similar to baking it in the oven, with a little water on the bottom of the pan in order to create a steaming effect, but you're doing it on top of the stove.

Covered, or uncovered, or does it matter?

That is also the way I make artichokes too.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
