Thai Spaghetti Squash

I’m quite bad at following recipes. I often find one that I have everything, but 1 item and so I decide to c hange it up and add my own items to replace it.

Then it becomes my very own creation recipe, and because I’m so organized I write it all out on a pretty recipe card and store it. Maybe that part is only in my mind . . .

But with this recipe I decided to actually follow a recipe down to an exact pinch of salt.

Why did I chose this one recipe to actually follow? Because spaghetti squash is still pretty new to me. There’s still a lot that’s unknown about how to go about cooking it correctly. I’ve tried many ways . . . crock pot, stove top . . . but my favorite is roasting it. I’m no professional, but after a few times here’s a few things I’ve learned so far . . .

1. split it in half to cut your time in half

2. put a little water in the bottom of the pan to help the squash be tender

3. roast those seeds with some sea salt . . . yum!

4. pull the squash flesh gently from the peel before separating into noodles. this will help them come out longer.
