MY BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH CAKES

Steps:

• follow Spaghetti Squash 101 from above: take your knife and poke a few holes in the skin, in a dotted line along where you plan to slice the squash in half (they do not have to be super deep). Place the whole squash in the microwave for about 5-6 minutes. Let it cool slightly, cut off the stem end and then cut it in half along the dotted line you created.
• place your cut squash (halves or quarters) face down in a glass dish with 4 tbsp of water and microwave for about 10 minutes. Let squash cool.
• preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with foil. Spray foil well with cooking spray.

• chop your shallots or onions and place into a bowl with garlic and squash. Add 1 egg and combine. Add the flour, salt, pepper, baking powder, chili powder, and nutmeg. Stir very well.
• using a 1/4 cup measure, pack it almost to the top and press the mixture into the cup to make compact. Turn cup over and tap out onto the palm of your hand. Place cake on foil lined, oiled baking sheet. Use the back of the measuring cup to press the cake down just a bit (it should be just under an inch thick). Repeat with the rest of the mix until you have 8-10 cakes. Spray the top of your cakes.

BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH AND CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. With a sharp knife, prick the squash in 2 to 3 places and set it on a baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove it from the oven, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Return the squash halves, cut side down, to the baking sheet and bake for another 30 minutes or until tender.
• While the squash is cooking, heat the butter in a medium sized saucepan. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Add the garlic, broth and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking all the while. Add the chicken and simmer, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk or heavy cream. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste; set aside and reheat over low heat when you remove the squash from the oven.
• Remove the squash from the oven. With a fork rake the squash until it separates fully into strands and only the shell remains. Transfer the strands to pasta bowls. Remove the chicken sauce from the heat, stir in the cheese and parsley or basil and adjust the seasoning. Serve the sauce over the strands of squash.
