I like spaghetti squash, it is one of my favorites. This is how I do it ..
Buy a spaghetti squash..this is what they look like
Cut them in half...being careful not to slice off any important things like fingers etc.. sometimes I find this is the hardest part. If anyone has any hints of how to do this easier..please share! I usually have Far Guy do it for me..with a really sharp knife..he still has all his fingers.
Scoop out the seeds. I saved some to try and plant next summer. I also purchased a package of seeds, just in case the ones I saved were a hybrid seed. Wrap in aluminum foil, throw them on a cookie sheet and bake about 75 minutes at 350. If they squish when you squeeze them they are done. Adjust your cooking time..seems like I always end up with brown edges..they taste OK..just don't look so good.
Unwrap and cool..then you can take a fork and scoop out the cooked flesh. It looks like spaghetti..but tastes way better..I put a little butter and salt and pepper on it and enjoy! Of course a huge squash is much to much for me to consume in one sitting..so I usually freeze individual servings.. during the winter it is impossible to get this squash up here. Big cities may have them..our little podunk grocery store..no way. I enjoy squash all winter long. The squash is a little watery when unfrozen and heated..but still has a great flavor. Chance loves it...it is one of his favorite leftovers:)
I also love spaghetti squash, although I haven't had any in a while. I'll look for it this summer, you've got me wanting some! I'll have to settle for a sweet potato instead.
ReplyDeleteThis is something' I've never tried. I'm thinkin' I need to broaden my horizons here. Thanks Connie.

I love squash, give me any type, I am not picky. And spag squash is wonderbar!
ReplyDeleteYou can top that with a buttery tomato sauce. Super easy to make, and it's vegetarian also. Oh yum, just had lunch and now I am hungry again....

Like Nezzy, I've never had this! What a simple way to prepare it though and I'm betting Harriet would love it too. Hope you both are doing well Connie.
ReplyDeleteYou cooking? Hope you're feeling OK! ;-)
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious and easy - well, apart from the chopping off of fingers... ;-)
