My days are spent now doing the school run, trying to keep on top of the leaves in the garden, getting our final spring bulbs in as well as writing and working on some very exciting products for the future. With the weather getting colder my normal salad’s and sandwiches for lunch are cooling me down to much so I’m bring out the winter comfort food and getting warm. One of the things that I really want to grow in my garden is squash – it’s such a filling food and I love the taste of it but we had a complete disaster this year even the pumpkins that we started off failed (was too dry whilst we were away in the summer!) so getting a squash box from Riverford Organic Food was ideal. Today’s recipe is a simple Spaghetti Squash Recipe which is ideal for some lunch time comfort food.
Ingredients
1 Spaghetti Squash Oil, Salt and Pepper to Season Handful of pin nuts Chorizo Parmesan Cheese
Simple Spaghetti Squash Recipe
I’ve never used Spaghetti Squash before so hunted through my recipe books to find out what to do with it. My Great-Grandmothers book from the 1930’s came up trumps with a roasting method that was so easy to do. Pre-heat the oven to 200C Cut the top and bottom off the spaghetti squash and add to the compost pile  Then chop the squash into about 2 – 3 cm slices.
