Gingered Spaghetti Squash Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Cut squash in half lengthwise.
• Remove seeds; place in large baking pan, cut side down.
• Bake 45 minutes or until skin is tender and strands can be loosened easily with a fork.
• In sauté pan, cook ginger with unsalted butter until tender.
• Add chicken base (chicken base is concentrated, paste-like flavor essence sold in larger supermarkets and gourmet stores), honey and brown sugar.
• Mix water and cornstarch and add to ginger mixture.
• Let simmer for 5 minutes; keep warm.
• When squash is done, place strands in a shallow dish and top with 2 tablespoons salted butter.
• Top with desired amount of honey ginger glaze.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place spaghetti squash in a baking dish, cut-side up. Combine butter, olive oil, honey, ginger, garlic, and chile flakes in a small bowl. Spread mixture evenly on the cut side of the spaghetti squash; pour any extra mixture in the center of each squash. Lightly sprinkle with kosher salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven until soft, about 1 hour.
• Scrape the squash into strands with 2 forks and mix with the seasoned butter in each squash. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Microwave 1 halved, seeded spaghetti squash with 2 tablespoons water, covered, until tender, 15 minutes. Cool slightly, then scrape into strands with a fork. Puree 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tablespoon each soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice and water, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 garlic clove and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes; toss with the squash. Season with salt. Top with chopped peanuts, mint and cilantro.

Steps:

• Place 1 halveed seeded spaghetti squash in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons water; cover and microwave until tender, 15 minutes. Let cool, then scrape with a fork. Puree 1/2 cup chopped carrots with 1/4 cup water, a 1-inch piece of ginger, the whites from 3 scallions, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, sysauce and rice vinegar and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Toss with the squash and scallion greens. Top with toasted sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees F and cover a baking sheet with foil. Split the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Season the squash with salt and pepper and place, cut-side down, on the baking sheet. Roast the squash until very tender, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Turn the roasted squash over and shred each half with a fork, turning the flesh into what looks like a yellow boat filled with spaghetti. Drizzle the hot squash with a little extra-virgin olive oil and adjust the seasoning.
• Top with lots of your favorite sauce and garnish with shredded cheese. Serve each "boat" on a platter and eat the squash and sauce right from the skin of the squash.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Farenheit.
• Cut the spaghetti squash in half and clean out seeds.
• Do not peel, do not chop.
• Simply mix the minced ginger with the warmed honey or maple syrup (I prefer the honey) and spread generously on each cleaned out half of the squash.
• Bake uncovered, cut side up on a cookie sheet in the center of the oven for 20-30 minutes or until it becomes slightly golden, but not burned.
• Remove from oven and using a fork, scrape out the squash in"spaghetti strands" onto a serving plate.
• If you are feeling decadent or entertaining, you can add a small dollop of butter on the very top, but it should taste great without.
• Bon appetit!
