Spaghetti squash
I have a spaghetti squash I have to cook tomorrow or never.
Do you cut it in half and bake it, boil it whole, or what? I'm thinking with some tomato sauce it might be good? What to do? -- ~Donna A~ http://diabetesandme.wordpress.com/ http://www.thesewingdictionary.com |

: I think it's much better with Alfredo sauce than tomato sauce. I actually have the "stuff" to make a modified Alfredo. I might try that. I don't want this guy going to waste. I'm leaving town tomorrow and it's today or never. -- ~Donna A~ http://diabetesandme.wordpress.com/ http://www.thesewingdictionary.com |

I cut it in half and nuke it with the cut sides down. About six minutes
then check it. It should come loose easily when you run a fork over it. I like to serve it with canned alfredo sauce to which I have added shrimp, scallops and artichoke hearts.

I'm thinking Cuting in half and baking is good, or or steam (faster in a pressure cooker with a steaming basket). with some tomato sauce it might be good? What to do? I've been eating it for breakfast lately, doing nothing to it other than dripping a little bit of soysauce on it. I did bake it in the oven. It was half of a fairly large one. I gave it forty minutes at 400; came out well. |

Spaghetti squash
I have a big serrated knife. I cut across the middle just enough to get the
knife embedded nicely, then I pick up the squash using the knife it is stuck to and whomp it on the counter until I am through. Keeping left hand out of way. I don't find spaghetti squashes nearly as hard to cut as some other squashes and most particularly rutabagas. I love rutabaga but it is such a pain to cut up.

How do you do rutabagas? *They have wax on them so have to be peeled before cooking. I use a vegitable peeler to remove the skins then cut them into chunks being paranoid about the knife. I like them in stews as they take a long time to cook. I have used a food processor to shred them. Works okay but I ended up deciding it wasn't worth the effort compared to dicing them. I suspect that oven roasted ruties would work okay rather like oven roasted potatoes. I've never tried it though. With oven roasting I don't know that the initial wax would matter. |

@mid.individual.net: I take a skewer, stick it a few times and nuke it on a paper towel. Less work, less danger, less wrestling with a roly poly knife target... I followed a suggestion here and pierced it several times, nuked it for 15 minutes, then cut it, and it was well cooked and easy to cut. I tried salt, pepper, and parmesean. It was okay, but not great. The texture was good. I was just wasn't bowled over. -- ~Donna A~ http://diabetesandme.wordpress.com/ http://www.thesewingdictionary.com |

I nuke mine for a couple of minutes, then they are easy to cut in half. I do the same with butternut and acorn squash. I guess it softens them a little. Becca |
