Okay, so first things first, when you are trying to make "SQUASHAGHETTI", you must indeed buy the correct kind of squash. The kind you are looking for can be seen here. So, SPAGHETTI SQUASH is what you want to buy. What did I buy? Oh, Butternut. I don't even have a good excuse. I thought, oh there it is..."Oh and look at the price! 99 cents/lb! What a great deal!", and into the buggy it went. Anyhow...here is 'squashaghetti' made with regular butternut squash.

| The Wrong Squash! Buy the right squash. If you didn't, no biggie. Take a fork, and put holes into squash and then place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for one hour. |

Now take your sqaush out. If you bought the correct squash or the wrong one, cut in half. Scoop out the seeds and yuckies with a spoon. If you did indeed purchase the correct squash, take your fork and and graze the inside of the squash. It will peel off in strands, like spaghetti (hence the name). If you bought the wrong squash, you can feel really stupid, and just scoop it out however you darn well please. Just look really confident, and pretend that you know exactly what you are doing,as this was exactly what you intended. Apres, top your wonderful squash that looks just like spaghetti (or nothing like it whatsoever) with the spaghetti sauce you have been simmering for the last hour or so. And Voila!

I usually make my "spaghetti" using courgette squash. I thin slice them and then cut into stripes. Put in the boil for 1 minute and tadaaa :)

ReplyDeleteI think if you do not want to be anonymous you scroll down in the 'comment as' box bellow where you type the comment, and pick name and type in your name. I'm kinda new to it all as well!! But you can just write your name, and then I'll know who you are!!

I have been looking for spaghetti squash online all day since reading this post. No luck. I'll have to try out "anonymous's" courgette squash. I never eat enough courgette, but it's so awesome.

She makes it looks so good. My friend puts laughing cow cheese and salt and pepper on it, and I swear it tastes like mac n' cheese. So good!
