My First Spaghetti Squash and an Award
I made my first spaghetti squash yesterday very cool, I saw it and snapped it up I had read about it on Bonne Nutrition and Cinnamon and Spice and Everything Nice. I brought it home, read my fellow food bloggers posts and followed along. I just baked mine, I turned it face down in water with some butter and Tuscan herbs, salt and pepper and baked for 45 min.
and sure enough when you scrap it out it really is like spaghetti, in fact folks even use it in place of spaghetti. I saved the juice and added to a broccoli soup I made today as stock.
I simply ate this as a side dish, the other half I am going to try Indian style so watch this space!I got an award from Simply life, a lovely blog with amazing dishes be sure to check it out.
in return I want to give her the friendship award in fact to everyone who reads chow and chatter love ya all
Hope your having a great holiday weekend,
Love

ReplyDeleteRebecca, I must be honest here. I tried spaghetti squash once and was underwhelmed. I really wish I could like it. I do love butternut squash though, so I guess that counts for something.
ReplyDeleteI just bought a spaghetti squash today!! Like you, it will be my first time making it. I'm super excited. I want to try it with spaghetti sauce, which I forgot to buy at the store :(
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite squash. I like to make a light tomato sauce with sausage to top the spaghetti. Yum! Oh and my kids love it prepared this way too. I can't wait to see what you do with it net.
