Tonight’s supper was tasty and pretty easy to make. We both
like spaghetti squash, my favorite is just as a side with butter & garlic
salt. The wife likes it with spaghetti sauce over it so I make it that way for
her once in a while. You can make this in a bout 1 ½ hours.
The squash is hard shelled and hard to cut raw. I usually nuke
it in the microwave 4 to 5 min. to soften and then cut in half. My small one
tonight had a bad spot I had to cut out and was able then to cut in half. Some
people cook them whole but I like to get the seeds & gook out of the center
before cooking. I season them with some garlic salt and then place on a foil
lined cookie sheet with a pat of butter under. I bake them at 350 deg. for one
hour.
For the sauce I use ground chuck or Italian sausage or
brats. Tonight I had 4 Italian brats from my butcher. I removed it from the
casings and browned it up and then add in chopped onion, green peppers and
garlic. I let that simmer about 5 minutes and then add in the sauce let simmer
15 to 20 minutes. My sauce tonight was Classico’s 4 cheeses. You can use any
sauce you want or make your own. I usually rely on Classico or Newman’s Own for
my sauces rather than make my own.
For a side I sautéed some sliced fennel, onions and garlic.
I should have waited to near the end to add the garlic since I burnt it. It
still tasted good.
I served the meat sauce over the squash, topped with some mozzarella
and melted some under the broiler. We had toasted English muffins with it.
Sorry I missed a shot of the finished sauce in the skillet.
Note: You can use the half squashes to serve from too. Just
spoon the spaghetti sauce in the center of the squash.
