Today's lunch (I ate only half of what's pictured below) consisted of spaghetti squash mixed with ground beef, mixed mushrooms fried in olive oil, garlic, and butter, and a cream sauce made from butter, heavy cream, and bleu cheese. I sprinkled crumbled bleu cheese and cut green onions over the whole. Voilà:
And it tasted fantastic-- a hell of a lot better than the previous Alfredo did.
I'm becoming more curious about spaghetti squash as a side dish. How might it taste simply stir-fried with butter and a bit of salt...?

How would it taste? A bit bland, but pleasant enough if you're using real butter. But why stop there? Why not add it to a frittata? Eggs and cheese are high in protein.
ReplyDeleteAlso worth mentioning... what about an au gratin?
Also: Have you checked out Dreamfields Pasta? I use that exclusively for my pasta needs, and sometimes if I have spag squash on hand, I'll do a 50/50 squash and angelhair pasta thing.
Are you just doing this to dump off weight or are you considering a Paleo lifestyle?
I'm doing the Gary Taubes regime to try and lose as much weight as I can. This means under 30g of carbs per day. I might go the Paleo route with the Mark's Daily Apple site (I now get Mark's newsletter), but for now, I'm mostly Taubesian, which is to say I'm mostly Atkins.
