City: Abilene State: Kansas | Ask your grocer if they can get it. Maybe it's something they only carry certain times of the year, but I think it's widely available all year long. My local grocer always has a bin full of assorted squashes, including spaghetti squash.

Last time I went, they had it, but the 3 other times I looked they were out of them. I have found them at Harvey's too! I'm not sure where you live, but here in Georgia, most of my local grocers have them. Good luck finding them!

City: Abilene State: Kansas | In case anyone is interested, I have a couple of recipes for Spaghetti Squash "hash browns". I gotta tell you, though, while I LIKED one of them and not so much on the other one, they're less like real hash browns than I'd have thought they'd be. If anyone is interested in these at all, pm me and I'll either post them or send them to you.

City: Abilene State: Kansas | I will, I promise. But just keep in mind that they probably shouldn't be called hash browns, because they really don't end up being hash-brown-like. With that in mind, they really aren't that bad, and they're both pretty low in fat and calories. YAY!
Recipes are coming......

In a large bowl, mix the strands of spaghetti squash with flour and parmesan cheese.
Place a wide frying pan over medium heat and melt butter.
Drop spoonfuls of the squash mixture into the fry pan and press with a fork into 3 inch diameter flat cakes. Cook until the bottoms are lightly brown (2-3 minutes), turn them over and brown the other side. Serve warm with sour cream.
Makes 4-6 servings
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 cups spaghetti squash
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten

4 Whole Green Bell Peppers - Blanch in hot water
1lb ground turkey
1 small onion diced
1 tbsp garlic
2 tbsp fresh parsley (could use dried)
1 can rotele - drained well
3 cups spaghetti squash - prepared as above (strands)
1 cup monterrey jack cheese (any cheese really)
Brown onion, turkey, garlic - drain well...In large bowl combine all ingredients & stuff each pepper. Add a few extra sprinkles of cheese on top & bake @ 375 for 30minutes.
There are a lot of change ups you can do with this...

City: Frisco State: Texas | I've seen Rachael Ray (yep, Food Network junkie here) make hash browns and she's put the potato into a dish cloth and squeezes out most of the liquids in order for them not to be quite so mushy. So I'm contemplating doing this with the spag squash hash browns. If I can find them again. All of a sudden they've disappeared from my regular store.

I didn't do that with the first batch I made, and they wouldn't stay together. The second batch that I did that with was much better.
I hope you find them soon!

City: skokie State: il | I do the squash in the microwave...about 6 minutes on high in a plastic bag--much quicker....and make turkey meatballs and jarred sauce--or just a pesto w/toasted pine nuts. You can also toss w/ gorgonzola cheese..it has a very mild anise taste. | |
