Roasted Spaghetti Squash With Curry Shallot Butter Recipes

VEGETARIAN THAI PEANUT RED CURRY SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Carefully cut your spaghetti squash in half with a large, sharp knife. Remove seeds and stringy guts, and brush the cut sides of the squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season generously with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place spaghetti squash, cut side down, on an aluminum-lined baking sheet and roast until tender, about 45-60 minutes.
• To test if your squash is done, scrap the flesh with a fork. If the strands come off easily, it's done. Let the cooked spaghetti squash cool for about 5 minutes, then scrape all the flesh into a beautiful pile of spaghetti strands. Taste and season with some more Kosher salt and pepper if needed.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook pineapple, carrots, red bell pepper, and shallots for about 3-4 minutes, until softened but still with some crunch. Season with Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Add spinach and desired amount of Thai Peanut Red Curry Sauce and cook for 1 additional minute, or until spinach is wilted.
• Divide spaghetti squash among 4 bowls. Top with vegetable curry and garnish with scallions and chopped peanuts.

HOW TO COOK SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper or foil.
• Carefully halve spaghetti squash lengthwise using a sharp knife. I find the best way to do this is inserting the very tip of a very sharp large knife into the side of the squash (lengthwise) and push it all the way through to the other side. Then rock the knife back and forth to cut one half all the way through, then repeat on the other side.
• Use an ice cream scoop (or sharp spoon) to scrape out the seeds and most of the stringy parts.
• Brush the interior with oil and sprinkle with a little salt. Place cut-side down on baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes, or until a knife easily pierces the skin and flesh. Remove from oven and set aside.
• Note: For a more moist squash, omit the oil and instead add just enough water to cover the bottom of your baking sheet or baking dish and bake at 400 degrees F (204 C) until a knife easily pierces the exterior - about 35-45 minutes.
• Once slightly cool, flip squash flesh-side up and use a fork to scrape out the strings. For ideas on how to use your spaghetti squash, see the text links above!

ROASTED SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat an oven to 375 F.
• Poke the spaghetti squash all over with a fork.
• Set the squash in a roasting pan or just on a piece of foil and bake until tender, at least an hour and up to 90 minutes or even more if the squash is a giant one. You should be able to pierce it easily with a fork-since you just poked it all over when it was raw, you should be able to feel a definite difference.
• Cut off and discard the stem end, cut the squash in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds.
• Use a fork to scrape the cooked spaghetti squash into strands.
• While still warm, top the cooked spaghetti squash with a pat of butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with grated Parmesan, pecorino, or aged Gouda cheese, if you like. Enjoy.

ROASTED SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH CURRY-SHALLOT BUTTER RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. With a sharp knife, carefully cut about four 1/2-inch slits in the squash to allow steam to escape while it cooks. Put the squash on the prepared baking sheet and roast for about 1 1/2 hours. Let the squash cool for about 20 minutes on the baking sheet. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, with a fork, mash the butter, curry powder, shallots, cilantro, salt, lemon zest and pepper to taste until well combined. Cut the squash in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. With a large fork, pull the squash fibers away from the outer peel (use a towel to hold the squash in place if necessary). Transfer the warm squash to a serving bowl and top with the curry butter. Toss until the butter is melted and evenly mixed. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve warm with the pine nuts scattered on top.
