a sunday night supper: spaghetti squash
Friday, November 09, 2012
my first experience with spaghetti squash was in college, we lived in walking distance to the local farmer's market. my housemate, brittany was always making home dinners at the house while i ate peas out of tupperware. one night we made spaghetti squash and cutting it in half with our dull knives was near impossible. we through them in the oven whole with a few holes poked and they came out soft and delicious.
to cook your spaghetti squash...
poke a couple holes all the way through and place in oven at about 350 degrees for an hour or hour and a half depending on how big they are. (i cooked the small one in the photo for an hour and the larger a half hour more)
while your spaghetti squash is cooking...
make your favorite sauce, and if you would like make some noodles, i love the combo of angel hair pasta and spaghetti squash. try it! (if you do this you won't need as much squash)
when your squash is finished cooking in the oven...
cut it in half and when it has cooled off a little, get a fork and scrape the insides to set free the "spaghetti"
then...
serve on a plate with the noodles and your sauce, a little cheese and some bread!
and eat! this is such a good and healthy meal for this time of year, and spaghetti squash is everywhere! trust me... you will love it. let me know if you have any other recipes for spaghetti squash.
