Spaghetti squash
A Brief History of Spaghetti Squash Recipes
Spaghetti squash is a type of winter squash that is oblong in shape and has a yellow-orange color. The flesh of the squash is stringy, like spaghetti noodles, hence its name. Spaghetti squash is believed to have originated in Mexico or Central America, and it was introduced to Europe in the 16th century.
The first recorded recipe for spaghetti squash was published in an Italian cookbook in the early 1800s. The dish was simple: the squash was boiled and then served with butter and Parmesan cheese.
Advice
When making spaghetti squash, it's important to remember to cook the squash properly. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Cut the squash in half, lengthwise, and place the halves face down on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the flesh is easily pierced with a fork. Allow the squash to cool, then use a fork to scrape out the strands of squash. Finally, season with your favorite sauce and toppings and enjoy!
