Overall, this recipe was okay. The spaghetti squash was cooked well and the sauce was flavorful, but it wasn't anything special. I probably wouldn't make this again.

This recipe was a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend using less olive oil or butter when cooking the squash and sauce.

I had some trouble getting the spaghetti squash to cook evenly. The ends were mushy while the middle was still hard. I think I needed to cut the squash into smaller pieces before cooking.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. The spaghetti squash was cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to the sauce to give it more depth.
