Ingredients

  • 1 small spaghetti squash, about 2 1/4 pounds
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped mixed soft herbs, such as basil, chives, chervil, parsley and sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Using a sharp knife, cut the squash in half lengthwise and place, cut side down, in a baking dish. Add enough water to come 1/2-inch up the sides of the baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes, until the squash is easily pierced with a paring knife. Turn squash over and cover with foil again and continue to cook another 15 minutes, until the squash is very tender. Remove from the oven, uncover, and allow to cool slightly. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and discard. Using a fork, gently pull the strands of squash away from the peel and place the squash strands into a mixing bowl.

Heat a skillet. Add the butter, spaghetti squash, herbs, salt and pepper and toss thoroughly but gently to heat and combine. Serve immediately or cover and keep warm until ready to serve.

    Marvelous Dish!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe for spaghetti squash is one of the best I have made. I used 1 Tbsp. basil and 1 Tbsp. parsley but will try other... herbs as I have them. I put the squash in the microwave for 5 minutes to make it easier to cut in half. I can't wait to make this again for friends and family!Read more

    Missing A Little Something

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    Easy to make & healthy. However, my boyfriend and I felt it needed a little something to boast the taste. A little on the... bland side. I would make it again...he would not. Read more

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    We fixed this dish and it was great. I used most of the suggested herbs and it came out perfect. We did add some crumbled... goat cheese on top when we served it for a extra kick was really good thanks. Next time we are going to try the oven roasted tomatoes too. Read more
