I've made something very close to this before, and it IS devine! The thyme accents the squash, and the pasta & tomatoes give it more texture (than spaghetti squash on its own...) Great post, Peetabear! A 5 in my books :)


Sounds great...I'm just waiting on my tomatoes to turn red, then I'll use up my spaghetti squash that has been in my fridge for a while...I'll cook this on Wed, and throw in some chopped chicken breasts. Thanks!


This looks seriously yummy, particularly with the thyme roasted tomatoes added in there. Thank you for passing it along... I can hardly wait to try it!
