Photo: Herbed Spaghetti Squash Recipe
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.

Followed the recipe. It was a pain to get all the seeds out! Once the squash is ready, making the "spaghetti" part was easy. This is a messy dish overall. The flavor was too bland and I ended up roasting some onions and grape tomatoes and using that with the basil and parsley on the leftovers. Even with all that, my husband didn't care for the texture! I won't be making this agin.

I prepared this recipe yesterday and it was great! This was the first time I tried spaghetti squash and it was soooooooo tasty. The butter and the herbs together made this vegetable taste a little like spaghetti! Wow! I will try this recipe again!
Thanks Emeril
