How do you cook squash?
I love all types of squash or zuchini but spaghetti squash is my favorite. Like Lynne, I use it for pasta when I cook spaghetti sauce and pasta for my children. I usually nuke it in the microwave. I also like to cook it, add a little salt and pepper and BUTTER (real butter) and eat is alone.

Moms recipe for the best acorn squash ever!
take the squash cut it in half if its large or just cut the top off if small. scoop out the seeds and stringy bits. put in in a cake pan since it can get messy. then into the center of the squash pour evaporated milk, a spoonfull of butter, salt, pepper, and a pinch of brown sugar(splenda brn sugar if you dump) and bake it for an hour at 350F and it should be nice and squishy. carefully take it out and enjoy
you can scoop it into a bowl or just eat it out of the squash shell which i usually do cause Im too lazy/ hungry to wanna wait any longer lol

Zucchini/yellow squash...I like to dice it into quarters and sautee it with onion in a little olive oil with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Toward the end I sprinkle it with a little parmesan cheese. YUM.
Butternut squash is awesome diced and roasted with butter, splenda and cinnamon.
Spaghetti squash, I like to make 'baked ziti' style with a heavy meat/tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.

Spaghetti squash as others have said has been an awesome spaghetti substitute for me. Last time I made it, I mixed unflavored protein in with the sauce and use mozzarella on top or mixed through. Mmmmmmm. Think I might add some ricotta next time now that I'm thinking about it!
Zucchini and yellow squash with some onion is awesome as well, sauteed in olive oil with garlic and maybe a pinch of cayenne for some zip.

butternut and acorn,pumpkin,i buy small as i can find them, i cut in half and de-seed, rub the tops with some butter or spray with olive oil and cook in the microwave for a few minutes till tender and then just eat it out of the shell,,with splenda and cinnamon or with sea salt,
yellow squash and zunccinni i tend to cube up or julienne it and carmelize them together with green onions, a smatter of julienned sweet potatoes and a few julienned carrots and make it like a hash brown with an over easy egg or you can scramble it with eggs
and spagetti squash i use in place of pasta,,that can go with sauce or garlic and onion with parm,,
all of these can be cut up and used in soups and stews,
