Spaghetti Squash

[lowcarbing4ever]

I bought a spaghetti squash to try something new......now I don't know what to do with it. Anybody have any recipes?

Re: Spaghetti Squash

I don't know if you've cooked that spaghetti squash yet. I cut mine in half longways, put it cut side down in a baking dish, and put about an inch of water in the baking dish, and bake it in the oven at 350 until it can be poked easily with a fork. This will depend on size, but I'd say about 40 minutes should do it. I drizzle olive oil, fresh garlic, salt, pepper, chopped fresh basil, diced fresh tomato, chopped black olives, and red pepper flakes on mine.

A few more ideas:

butter and parmesean

alfredo sauce = heavy cream, butter, parmesean, black pepper, garlic (whisk this together over medium low heat in a saucepan until everything is melted and sauce is thick

Tomato sauce - if you can find something that's suitable for this WOE. Watch out for sugar!

Re: Spaghetti Squash

You can also cook it the same way but in the microwave, takes about 7 minutes. Usually they have a sticker on them that tells you exactly how to cook them (at least here they do)

Re: Spaghetti Squash

After cooking mine in the microwave I saute it in olive oil and butter with garlic salt. Sometimes I then blend it and add a sprinkle of pamasean(sp?) cheese. Really feels and tastes like mashed taters.

Re: Spaghetti Squash

I just poke holes in the entire thing, and toss it in the microwave for about 15 minutes. Then I get my trusty oven mitts, and cut it in half, scoop out the seeds & throw them in the trash, and scrape down the sides for the 'noodles.' Easy peasy!

Then I top it with whatever I feel like. Sometimes just butter, tomatoes, & garlic, sometimes alfredo, sometimes a sauce from whatever else I made with dinner... etc etc. The possibilities are endless!

Re: Spaghetti Squash

I make mine in the microwave also, scrape the "noodles" out, then I make the alfredo sauce, pour it over the noodles and add steamed brocc., chicken and mushrooms. It is so good!!!

Re: Spaghetti Squash

you can also mix the cooked and cooled spaghetti with egg, herbs and cheese, form it into patties and cook them like a hash brown patty.

That sounds good!

I usually do mine like you Mrslee, except I've never baked it - I'll have to try that!
