When I was asked to bring a dish to a comfort food themed potluck dinner party at a friend’s house, I naturally thought three things:
- bolognese sauce;
- seasonal squash;
- and cover everything with fromage gratiné.
I remembered a recipe my mother once found in the Montreal Gazette which I thought was phenomenal. Really? I thought as a kid, a squash that had the consistency of spaghetti? And you could carve them out like canoes and fill them with spaghetti sauce and melted cheese?!?!? The dish clearly had left a strong impression on me, because I make it from time to time. Here it is in all its glory. 🙂
- Spaghetti Squash Violence
- Seedilicious – salt and season these with spice and bake them slowly in the oven for a tasty snack
- Mirepoix, b*tches!
- Lovely baked spaghetti squash is ready when it comes away like strands of pasta on the fork. It’s an amazing texture, really.
- Filling up the barges of squash with a nice bolognese sauce.
- Squashilicious! Straight out of the oven all golden gratinée with mozzarella cheese, garnished with fresh rosemary twigs.
