spaghetti squash. i can’t believe this is my first entry about my favorite winter squash. i am addicted to the flavor & the simple preparation. i am continually awed by the fine strings that resemble spaghetti pasta. if you don’t eat this, try it. it has a hint of sweetness. it’s a meal or a side in less than 20 minutes (microwave time, you’re not doing jack shit while it steams). i top mine with a pat of butter, salt, a pinch of cayenne, a grating of parmesan cheese & fresh parsley if i have it. you can get more elaborate with it, but why?

1. cut in half lengthwise (leave seeds).
2. nuke on high for 17-20 mins depending on size.
3. remove seeds.
4. fluff.
5. season.
6. eat.
