Spaghetti has become a weekly staple of mine. Got a lot better when I didn’t cut the squash length wise. Easier to fork out. I just nuke it for like 10 minutes open side up and it turns out great.

I just poke a few wholes and throw the entire thing in the oven for an hour or so. Great with tomato sauce, red bell peppers and grated romano cheese.

[...] And, if you still say a tomato sauce should only ever be served with spaghetti, we could even agree… but only if you’re talking about ultra-delicious spaghetti squash. [...]

I made spaghetti squash with meat sauce for the first time last night. It was delicious! After halving the squash, I rubbed the cut edge with olive oil and left the seeds and stringy bits inside untouched. I baked the squash at 375 face-down on the wire rack in the oven for a little over an hour, then turned off the oven and let them sit in there for another 20 minutes while I prepared the sauce. The results were not watery in the least and the texture was perfectly al dente.

Star: I’ve never heard of Doug Kaufman. What exactly does he say is the problem with mushrooms?

Personally, I’ve never heard of anyone having a negative reaction to them…except for the poisonous kind, of course.

If his position is merely that fungi are not good for you, I would counter that there’s a big difference between eating a mushroom and having a fungal infection. From a homeopathic viewpoint, wouldn’t eating them actually help protect you from disease caused by them? (I don’t know much about homeopathy, so I’m not sure if that’s a valid statement.)

I am confused about the whole mushroom thing. I see it widely used here but I hear Doug Kaufman say don’t eat them. Why are things that actually ARE fungus eaten with such joy here? I know you can’t read my expressions here so let me just say I’m truly bewildered about the whole mushroom thing and not being a negative ninny. There have been numerous studies praising mushrooms and Doug is the only voice that says no.

I love winter squashes, but they are rather time consuming to prepare and clean up. I’m a lazy Grok who likes to take shortcuts. After being inspired by the weekly posts, I made this yesterday using a 12-oz box of frozen, mashed butternut squash:

1/2 box frozen butternut squash, thawed
1 egg
1 T. half-and-half

Mix the above with a fork and then add:

1 apple cut into chunks
2 T raisins

Microwave 5 minutes, eat while warm. Add honey if desired. If you’re anti-microwave, bake in the oven.

I mix this into my eating bowl, so there are no extra dishes to wash.

About the spaghetti squash: bake it in the oven with the open end _down_ so that it drains Put a roasting pan on the grill below it to catch the drippings. I still start it off in the microwave to speed up the process.
