Spaghetti Squash With Red Sauce image

Spaghetti squash is my new favorite fun food. I never knew that there was a vegetable that was so much like pasta! This recipe won a Taste of Home competition and I can taste why! This simple vegetarian sauce is a great topper for the squash "This fabulous, meatless main dish is a great way to get the kids to eat lots of vegetables ... and a great way for you to use some of the fresh harvest from your garden. - Kathryn Pehl, Prescott, Ariz."

Overall, this was a good recipe. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes to the sauce.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have used less sugar next time.

The spaghetti squash was a bit undercooked for my liking. I think I would have cooked it for a few more minutes.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more spices to the sauce.
