"When I worked at the University of Florida, the University Women's Club created a cookbook in honor of their 75th anniversary. This recipe is from that cookbook, contributed by Millie Demski. It is delicious. You may prepare the spaghetti squash as specified below or, my choice, use Recipe #162765 #162765. I have always made this with veal but am sure it would be excellent with pork too, or chicken--cooked much less long."

THIS IS FABULOUS!!! I used 'country style pork ribs' and cubed them. The aromas & flavor are outstanding!!! Just a smll amount of work & the stove does the rest. Made for the Aussie Swap 7/09. :) I forgot to add that I cooked my spaghetti squash in the oven, halved w/a bit of water.
