The Best Spaghetti Squash Recipes

By Christopher Lewis


This time of year is reserved for pumpkin and her relatives. Beautiful, fulfilling dishes, soups, cakes or anything you may think of. Delicious, nutritious and full of colors. Lately, spaghetti squash recipes are especially popular, and for a good reason. Easy to make, tasty and really interesting food, and here is how to prepare it.

Cut the squash in half and discard seeds. Place baking paper in a pan, grease it with butter and place halves on face down. Put the pan into on 350F preheated oven and bake for an hour or until soft. Use the fork to scrape flesh in strings into a bowl. Toss with melted butter and grated Parmesan cheese, add salt and pepper and enjoy.

As you can see, it's really simple and easy. Once you have these lovely strings, use them as regular pasta, with meat, sauces, cheese, salsa, fresh vegetables or whatever. Use them for making sweet or salty dishes. Of course, here are some slightly different recipes you might enjoy in, if you want to try something entirely different.

Once you scrape out your vegetable spaghetti, take a few sheets of filo paste, the same quantity of cottage cheese and a few tablespoons of sour cream, one egg and a few pieces of butter. Mix the egg with a little bit of salt, add some cheese and squash and spread the mixture over the filo sheet. Roll it and place on greased pan. Continue with this procedure until you fill the pan with rolls.

Preheat the oven on 350 degrees. Once you're done rolling pastry sheets, cover these rolls with sour cream, add a little salt on the top and bake for thirty minutes or until done. This lovely salty dessert tastes great with a glass of good wine, and if you eat it with yogurt, it might be one really nice and light meal.

When it comes to baking, you don't have to use this baking recipe, you could bake the whole squash in the oven instead. In this case, prick the surface with the knife first. If you don't have enough time, put the halves in your microwave instead, and they will be done in maybe twenty minutes or so. However you bake it, you can always use it to make something delicious and nutritive.

You can always make a salad. For example, this one. Prepare 200 grams of diced feta cheese, 200 grams of young spinach, veggie spaghetti, approximately one pound of them, some good quality olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Leave young spinach leaves as they are, larger should be cut into strips. First, combine oil and spices with garlic. Add other ingredients and mix well. It's done.

If you enjoy in pumpkin soup, you will probably just love it in this version. Cook your pumpkin soup the usual way, add spaghetti in and coo for a few minutes. Sprinkle with pumpkin seed oil and chopped parsley leaves, and, if you want, you may also add a tablespoon of sour cream on the top. Serve with toasted bread cubes and enjoy in this lovely meal.
