Baked Spaghetti Squash is not for me

http://www.idontgotothegym.com/2013/01/baked-spaghetti-squash.html?m=1

So, I made spaghetti squash the other day and came across this recipe and decided that I needed to try it. It claims to be a delicious and healthy alternative to lasagna type dishes-- pasta-free lasagna!

To be fair? I totally changed the recipe-- I just used store bought sauce (the good stuff though-- Newman's Sockarooni) and added sauteed spinach and onions and garlic. But, my basic impression was that this was super delicious, but just left me wanting real lasagna.

But it's still totally worth it right? Something that tastes mostly like lasagna, but is uber healthy and on the low cal side of things-- worth it, right? Not the way I make it. I used like double or triple the amount of cheese that their recipe called for. I'm pretty sure this ruins it-- and if I'm eating a meal becuase its' delicious and filing and fabulous, but not THAT healthy for me-- I want actual lasgana, damnit.

But spaghetti squash is delicious, so I need to find some good stuff with that. I roasted it once and then I made it in the microwave once, both were delicious.
