Day 275: Spaghetti Squash with Moroccan Spices
For weeks, my sister has been raving about spaghetti squash. (Don't you just wish she'd do a guest post? All in favor, comment Aye!) But taste-wise this version turned out bland and watery -- it just didn't work, despite all the good ingredients. (See? Don't you think my sister should do a guest post? No pressure though, 80KD!!) And even though it was very convenient to cook the squash in the microwave (right in its own skin with no pan!), it was a real pain to pick the seeds out of the strings afterward. NEXT TIME I'd be tempted to skip sauteeing the butter/garlic/spices (thus eliminating an extra pan) and just stir them into the hot strings. And I'll definitely cut the squash in half to remove the seeds before cooking. FROM THE ARCHIVES For other microwave vegetables, see here in the Recipe Box .
