Spaghetti Squash with Fresh Herbs

This recipe stars squash and herbs from our garden. I thought when I planted the squash it was acorn, but I ended up with spaghetti squash. I am glad I did, it's been many years since I've eaten it.

1 spaghetti squash, about 12" long
4 T butter
1 minced garlic clove
1/4 cup mixed herbs (I used basil, parsley and sage), coarsely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375°.

Bake whole squash 1 hour or til the squash is easily pierced with a knife.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d59/d900/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg
Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes, til cooled slightly. Using a very sharp heavy knife, halve squash. Remove seeds and discard. Using a fork, gently remove the strands of squash away from the peel and place in a bowl. Set aside.

Heat a large frying pan over medium low heat. Add the butter, garlic, squash, herbs and salt and pepper and toss just til heated through and butter is melted. Serve immediately.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d60/d900/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d62/d900/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg
I served the squash with sliced cherry tomatoes from the garden.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d58/d900/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

  1. I've never really found a recipe that works for me with spaghetti squash. I like it, and I love how it "works" but I never know exactly what to do with it. I'll try this.
