This looks delicious! I’m going to make it tomorrow and pretend it’s a breakfast burrito. Okay, okay… I know it’s not very breakfasty,but I can’t wait till dinner to try this. So breakfast it is! Thanks for a great idea!

Since giving Spaghetti Squash a try with this recipe I have used it in many more ways..so thanks for breaking spaghetti squash “out of the box” for me by suggesting other ways to use it! However; now I keep a lot of spaghetti squash around and with limited counter top space have had to get very clever and thought I’d share how I am now storing 3 spaghetti squash at a time in only 7 sq. inches of counter top space. I went VERTICAL. I got a decorative spare toilet paper holder in an antique-y bronze-y kind of finish and stacked the Spaghetti Squash right in there. Liked the idea so much I’m going to get a few more for butternut squash, maybe artichokes. Anyhow thought I’d pass along an “out of the box” space-saving tip for storing that yummy squash you like to cook!

Roni,
Just tried this tonight. SO GOOD!! I had a single serve Wholly Guacamole (instead of the avocado), and used a little bit of shredded lettuce. YUM-O!!!! LOVED it. I will definitely be doing this again.

Thanks for a GREAT idea! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next. :)

Love this dish. I did swap the avocado out for a wedge of queso fresco laughing cow. I usually want sour cream on my mexican food and this did the trick. Thanks for such great, simple rate to stay healthy!

Well Roni, Congrats to you for spreading the good word on spaghetti squash! It’s a great alternative. I’ve used spaghetti meat sauce over it before and that was terrific and left me without the bloating feeling. Last night I did a low fat/low cal alfredo over sautee chicken and mushroom on a bed of S. Squash, Yum. Used my left overs to adapt your burrito idea and made two soft tacos. I added paprika, made my own simple salsa in a blender with onion, tomato, salt, pepper, and a dash of rice vinegar. I didn’t have avocados (boo) but did enjoy a dollop of plain yogurt on each one. It was fantastic, thanks for the idea!!! I used Ancient Grain artisan tortillas and in total the calories were about 480, (300 of that from the cheese and tortillas). The BEST thing about this recipe is that when I was done I felt satisfied…I’m not even hungry or thinking about food three hours later.

sorry! I should have linked to my old post.

I used to nuke it… link to greenlitebites.com

now I I’m hooked on roasting it. It’s a bitch to cut so leave it whole and put it on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven. Roast about an hour until the skin pushes in when you press. Let it cool a bit then cut in half, scoop out seeds and viola! Scrape out the flesh with a fork.

Hope that helps!

This looks great! Can you humor and tell me how you cook up the spaghetti squash though?

Sounds delicious! I’m thinking that a spicy chipotle salsa would go well with the squash too.

I just made the chicken tips recipe, added a handful of peas and corn then topped a bunch of squash. It was really tasty!

Kassie – I use total nutritional info to calc points. It’s the “safe” way and gives to the total max point value for the dish. I’d rather not “fasle” advertise a dish’s point value. If you plug all those ingredients into WW eTools you’ll probably get the 8.

Great idea for leftover spaghetti squash!
You definitely think outside the box, er….squash!

I tried this tonight! It would have been delicious but I used a new kind of tortilla. Flour tortilla from Trader Joes. It had a funky eggy-ish smell. I couldn’t get past the smell *GAG* I’m probably the only one who could ever smell it though. I’m pregnant and have this insane sense of smell.

Oh! I made a HUGE spaghetti squash this weekend. I *HAVE* to try this!! The picture even LOOKS like rice in the burrito!
GREAT idea Roni!! I like how you think. :)

Question: how does that end up 6 WW points? Isn’t spaghetti squash free? Just curious. It still looks like a SUPER filling 6 points! :)

Thanks!

What a great idea! I may have to try this with corn tortillas since I can’t do flour

All I can say is WOW! It looks so good. I wonder if it matters what kind of squash. Thanks so much for sharing this winner.
