This was an interesting recipe because we had never tried spaghetti squash. DH didn't care for it but said it was ok for a change. I liked it and wouldn't mind having it again. I added beef meat balls to the sauce and used two kinds of cheddar for the cheese. It's quite a surprise how the squash comes out looking like spaghetti! Thanks for sharing a nice change from the usual.
