Spaghetti squash

[Becky]

I think most of my spaghetti squash recipes use it as a pasta substitute. That being said, using it to make an approximation of pad thai is one of the more interesting and tasty things that I've done.

Hmmmm, hash browns. Does it crisp up nicely? I really never have liked spaghetti squash for just the reason you say - wrong taste for pasta, wrong texture for squash. But hash browns are a possibility.

They did crisp up fairly well when I tried it. The texture matched that of potatoes much better than I would have figured. And I LOVE hash browns, so it was nice to have a healthier version of it. I sauteed some onions, then added the cooked squash.

Owlie, I'd love the Thai curry recipe!

It's not really a recipe, but it's really easy, Luvmyguys. Chicken (or tofu, if you so choose), various veggies (I like onion, carrot, bell pepper, snow peas and broccoli; I happened to have spaghetti squash around that day), coconut milk, Thai curry paste (because I am lazy) to taste, and fish sauce. Brown sugar is optional. Saute chicken, add less-delicate veggies, then the coconut milk and curry paste, fish sauce and sugar. Cook until veggies are a little less "done" than you like, then add the delicate veggies. Let those cook, and you're done!

Thai curry paste (because I am lazy) !

Wait, you're the one who can't find Amish chicken locally, and you DO have a source for lemon grass and galangal??? I think lazy is the least of your reasons for using prepared curry paste...

My grocery store actually does have lemongrass from time to time, but not often. The stores here are weird.

Bump. I'd like to try spaghetti squash too just not sure how to use it.
