Roasted Spaghetti Squash With Curry Shallot Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• With a sharp knife, carefully cut about four 1/2-inch (12-mm) slits in the squash to allow steam to escape while it cooks. Put the squash on the prepared baking sheet and roast for about 1 1/2 hours. Let the squash cool for about 20 minutes on the baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, with a fork, mash the butter, curry powder, shallot, cilantro, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to taste until well combined.
• Cut the squash in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. With a large fork, pull the squash fibers away from the outer peel (use a towel to hold the squash in place if necessary). Transfer the warm squash to a serving bowl and top it with the curry butter. Toss until the butter is melted and evenly mixed. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Season the pine nuts with salt and add to the buttered squash. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Brush both sides of the squash with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and place cut-side up in a baking pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to roast until tender, about 35 minutes more. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Use a fork to scrape the squash flesh into a large bowl and toss with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Drizzle squash flesh with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast until squash is tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour.
• When cool enough to handle, gently scrape squash with a fork to remove flesh in long strands and transfer to a medium bowl. Toss with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, lemon juice, and parsley. Season with salt and red-pepper flakes and serve sprinkled with cheese, if desired.
