I found this recipe here:

http://www.fabulousfoods.com/recipes/side/veg/locarbspagsqshpattie.html

when I ran a search on "spaghetti squash"

It calls for:
6 C spaghetti squash, cooked by your favorite method and separated into strands (follow link for instructions)
4 eggs
2 T chopped green onion or chives
salt and pepper to taste
oil for skillet

Add eggs, onion or chives, salt and pepper to cooked spaghetti squash. Form into 3 inch patties. Heat oil in a skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.

For a different flavor, you can sauté the patties in butter. For an Asian flair, sauté in canola oil mixed with a few drops of sesame oil, serve with soy sauce.

Makes about 30 patties

It seems like the recipe could be easily altered (I mean no butter) to be P1 legal! Has anyone tried this? Please let me know if I am mistaken, i'm excited about this one!

I've made spaghetti squash pancakes (in much smaller quantities). I just mix cold spaghetti squash with egg (or egg beaters) and add finely diced onion and garlic (must have garlic) until it looks "right." Fry them in a pan with some olive oil over medium heat. Biggest thing is to be patient enough to let them brown fully on the first side before attempting to flip. Otherwise, they fall apart.

It's one of my favorite things to do with leftover spaghetti squash. I think they're a lot like potato pancakes. I usually top with a dollop of low-fat sour cream.

Yum!

That's good to know Carol!
I still haven't tried them, because I haven't been to the grocery store to buy one. I am looking forward to it though!
