BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH



Baked Spaghetti Squash image

Spaghetti squash is easily prepared in the oven--just cut it in half and bake it until the skin is easily pierced with a fork. You can then use it as a low-carb pasta substitute or turn it into salads. I often just eat it simply with some Parmesan cheese and olive oil. If you want you can season it before you bake it, but I usually spice it up later.

EASY VEGETABLE BOLOGNESE WITH SPAGHETTI SQUASH



Easy Vegetable Bolognese with Spaghetti Squash image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 3- to 4-pound spaghetti squash
Extra-virgin olive oil, for the pot and drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 large carrot, cut into chunks
1 celery stalk, cut into chunks
1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 pound cremini mushrooms, quartered
1 large zucchini, trimmed and cut into chunks
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup red wine, such as pinot noir
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
One 2- to 3-ounce piece Parmesan rind plus freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the spaghetti squash in half from top to bottom. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Place the squash on the prepared baking sheet cut-side up. Drizzle each half with about 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and season with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Turn the squash cut-side down and bake until a fork easily pulls the "spaghetti" strands away from the squash, about 40 minutes.
  • In the meantime, start the sauce. Heat a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the base of the pot, about 2 tablespoons. Add the garlic, carrot, celery and onion to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse the vegetables until finely chopped. Add the vegetables to the heated pot and season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Sauté the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they soften, about 5 minutes. Re-attach the food processor bowl and add the mushrooms and zucchini. Pulse the vegetables until finely chopped but still with some texture. Add them to the pot with the other vegetables. Season with another 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and their natural liquid has mostly evaporated, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the milk and cook, stirring occasionally, until the milk is mostly evaporated, about 5 minutes. Next, add the red wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine is mostly evaporated, about 7 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, red pepper flakes, cheese rind and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring the sauce up to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and let the sauce simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the cheese rind and discard. Season the sauce to taste.
  • To serve, add spaghetti squash to individual bowls and top with a big ladle of sauce, freshly grated Parmesan and torn basil.

This recipe is fun and delicious. Not to mention so easy! My mother is the one who taught me how to make it. Try it I promise you will like it if you like squash. We love this just plain However, it is great if you add a nice spaghetti sauce over it.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 spaghetti squash
1/4 cup lowfat parmesan cheese (just the shaker kind is fine)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated (you can substitute for cheddar, farmer's, colby etc.... any kind of cheese you want!)
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped (1/8 cup if using the dried stuff)
1 cup salsa (mild, hot, whatever. I have even substituted this with spaghetti sauce!)

Steps:

  • Cut squash in half lengthwise.
  • Remove and discard seeds (or keep them to plant for next year).
  • Steam squash, cut side up for 10-15 minutes, or until softened.
  • Pre heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Remove squash from steamer and place on a baking sheet.
  • With a fork, scrape the insides of the squash to form the spaghetti strands. (This will be very easy if your squash is cooked enough).
  • Top each squash half with the remaining ingredients ending with the mozzarella (or whatever type you used) cheese on top to melt.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is all melted.
  • Remove from oven and give it another quick stir to mix the cheese into the rest of the filling.
  • *There is no need to remove the insides for serving. We just eat the squash right out of the shell!
