The 90's called. They want their spaghetti squash back.

Hi all,

I can remember the first time I saw someone make spaghetti squash.  If you've never tried it, let's start here:  It's not just like eating pasta, but it's a lot of fun.  You cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and either steam it or roast it cut side down (with a little water in the pan) at about 350 degrees in the oven for 30-40 minutes.

Then (and this was the really cool thing to watch), you drag a fork across the surface and the squash shreds into spaghetti-like strands that are just a little crunchy and have a mild squash taste.  Flora's Farms had one just about my size - small - on Saturday, so I bought it.  It seems as if it's fallen out of vogue now - it was sort of "in" when people were cutting back on carbs and flour consumption.  It's still very tasty, especially with garlic, olive oil and chopped fresh tomatoes.  Because of the autumnal taste, it would also be good with a little butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and some walnuts as well.

If you've never tried it, get some.  If it's been awhile, come back to visit it.  Until next time, I'll see you at the market!
