October Creative Project: SQUASH

I chose the word "SQUASH" for our creative projects group this month, and decided that I would try and cook something new. Tom told me that he loves spaghetti squash, so I found a recipe and applied it to the simple spaghetti and meatballs concept. While the squash looks like spaghetti, it has the texture of coleslaw. Pretty delicious if you dress it up with some delicious mixins'.

First you cut the spaghetti squash in half - it's a lot harder than a pumpkin. I suggest cutting part of the way and then it will snap in half (thank you Tom for your strength).

Remove the seeds and the pulp in the middle of the squash. Next, place on a cookie sheet and roast for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove and let cool for a few minutes.

With a fork, dig directly into the flesh of the squash and pull outward. I picked a medium sized squash and it yielded a full 10" pan of squash.  Finally, cook on medium for 10 minutes and add a tablespoon of butter and EVOO, along with pepper, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.

Paired with my famous meatball recipe - you're in for a great meal!!! Delicious (and pretty nutritious). Alright, Car Car - what's the word for November?
