Lorien, Mike, and I went apple picking yesterday at a farm. It was my first time picking apples and it was a lot of fun! I also picked beets and spinach. I did not, however, pick my own spaghetti squash. Rather, I picked out my own spaghetti squash from among the ones pre-cut in the barn store thing.
Out of all the new things I have tried in the last few months (drangonfruit etc) THIS IS THE BEST!!!! Seriously, I think spaghetti squash is one of my new favorite foods. K, eat it like this:
Cut your squash in half and scoop out the seeds.
Poke the skin with a fork or knife in a few places
Place face down in a baking dish and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-40 min.
When it is done (pokeable) scoop out the flesh with a fork. It actually comes out stringy like spaghetti!! I threw it in a bowl with a little olive oil, some parmesan, a touch of garlic and salt, and about a tablespoon of tomato paste. AWESOME AND DELICIOUS! I really haven't felt this enthusiastic about a vegetable in a long time :) Enjoy!
