  Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin

  If you have Squash planted in your garden you may have a few out there that are ready to go! Harvest these beauties when they feel firm and heavy. They typically taste the best when they are about 8” long so they don’t get too firm. The squash should have brightly colored skin that is blemish free. Try this great recipe with your fresh, home grown squash.                             Serves 6

  Ingredients: 1 spaghetti squash 2 tbsp butter 1 small yellow onion, cut in half and very thinly sliced ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, or more if you like it spicy 1 tsp fresh thyme ½ cup sour cream ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  Directions: Cut the spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Place in a covered dish with a ¼ inch of water and microwave for 10 -12 minutes. In a medium sized skillet over medium heat, add the butter, onions, red pepper and thyme and cook until the onions are slightly brown in color. Salt and pepper to taste. Using a fork, scrape the insides of the squash and transfer to a small bowl. Combine the squash, onions, sour cream and half the cheese together and mix well. Transfer the mixture to a buttered baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Place into a 375º oven for 15 – 20 minutes until golden brown on top. If you have more than you can eat at once, store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in a plastic bag. Do not wash them until you are ready to use them.
