I love it with pasta sauce.

Definitely cook it longer next time.

I am with you OP - not a fan. Mushy and stringy - bleh.

Haha, we eat meat bolognase over it all the time.

I do roast it in the oven and then put it in a strainer over the sink for a good hour or so before serving.

The nutmeg suggestion the PP is making above sounds delish! I'm going to do this tonight!

I like it slightly crisp. I serve with butter, salt, and freshly-grated nutmeg. A favorite since childhood, and I'm so sad my kids don't like it!

Depends how long you cook it. It can be soft to the point of mush, just like any other squash.

Op here. Ok I get that it will never taste like spaghetti. I'm just wondering how soft does it get?

I don't think people should market spaghetti squash as a noodle substitute. The texture is all wrong so you'll always be disappointed if you're expecting pasta. It's a tasty SQUASH. Treat it as a veg!

Yes! This is my favorite way, too!

Hey, I don't get eggplant either. But since I don't get it, I don't have to worry about it.

If you roast it longer it will be softer. It has spaghetti like strands, but no really like a true noodle IMO I mix it with regular pasta and top it with spaghetti sauce as a way of adding more veggies.

Put it in the oven, used fork to desperate strands, put a little butter and Parmesan on it. Eh. It was kinda crunchy and not "noodley" at all. Am I supposed to sauté it after roasting? Will it get more soft and less squashy tasting?
