Garlicky Spaghetti Squash Florentine – My Thanksgiving Contribution
This will be my addition to our Thanksgiving feast on Thursday. I did a trial recently and decided it was “share-worthy” and great for our Turkey Day table.
I simply baked spaghetti squash in the oven. As it was roasting, I also roasted its seeds and thin slices of garlic as well. While those aromatics roasted away, I sauteed a little more garlic, some onion, and mushrooms on the stove top. Towards the end of that 10 minutes or so, I added in the kale and turned off the heat. Once the squash was soft when squeezed, I allowed it to cool some and then scraped out the squash with a fork. I added the squash, a bit of nutmeg and salt and pepper to the pan with the veggies and gently mixed together. I finished it by garnishing with the roasted (and salted) seeds and the garlic chips, and finally with some nutritional yeast. Happy feasting everyone!

/ November 25, 2013What did you find the best was to cook the spaghetti squash was? I had a kitchen nightmare with spaghetti squash when I tried and it came out the oven all soggy! definitely didn’t resemble spaghetti!! But I am curious to try again and make this recipe!
Whats your tips?
It looks tasty though! xx

/ November 28, 2013Make sure to scoop out the inside before baking if you didn’t do that the first time. If you did that, then I would say just check it periodically when baking. I cook it flesh-side down so it’s easy to give it a squeeze occasionally to check its softness. I have a friend that cooks it in the microwave, so that may be a good way to control its tenderness- just cooking a few minutes at a time. Hope this helps and don’t give up because spaghetti squash is so yummy!
