Spaghetti Squash Curry Recipes

ROASTED SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH CURRY-SHALLOT BUTTER

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.

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.

CURRIED WINTER SOUP

Steps:

• Place cut side of the squash down in a lightly oiled baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until a sharp knife can be inserted with only a little resistance. Remove squash from oven, and set aside to cool enough to be easily handled. Shred squash with a fork.
• In a large soup pot, saute onions and garlic in olive oil. Add curry powder, cumin, and turmeric. When onions are transparent, add stock and lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and add chopped tomatoes and juice.
• If using brown rice, add the rice 10 minutes after adding the lentils, if using white rice, add rice after 25 minutes along with the can of corn. (Add the can of corn at the same time you add rice, white or brown).
• After 35 minutes, add the macaroni and spaghetti squash. Simmer until rice and pasta are cooked.

HEALTHY CURRIED SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the cut-side down in a microwave-safe baking dish (the halves can overlap one another a bit) and add 1 cup water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until very tender and a knife easily pierces the skin of the squash, 15 to 18 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Carefully uncover and let stand until cool enough to handle but still warm.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small nonstick skillet. Add the ginger and garam masala until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and honey. Season with the salt. The sauce should be sweet and sour.
• Scrape the flesh of the squash into a bowl, using a fork, to make long noodle-like strands. Toss with the sauce and cilantro. Season with additional salt.
