    I was craving something cheesy, without all the carbs from macaroni and came up with this dish back in 2003. I basically swapped the pasta from my Macaroni and Cheese recipe with roasted spaghetti squash and the results were this wonderful! The squash takes on a fantastic texture when baked in the cheese sauce.,Alt=,Alt=,Try making this with different cheese combos. Try a mix of cheddar and Swiss, or swap it for Havari.,Add some breadcrumbs to the Parmesan topping at the end for some texture.,Add some cooked chicken sausage for added protein.,Make a tuna spaghetti squash casserole buy swapping spinach for tuna and peas,Spaghetti Squash Enchilada Bowls,Spaghetti Squash with Bacon and Parmesan,Roasted Spaghetti Squash,Spaghetti Squash Primavera,Spaghetti Squash Lasagna
