SPAGHETTI SQUASH GRATIN WITH CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• 2. Cut the squash in half length-wise and scoop out the seeds, and lay the squash face down in a buttered shallow baking dish and bake for 1 hour until it's browned and soft.
• 3. While squash is baking, clean the chanterelles with a brush.(Use little to no water to clean them, because these mushrooms soak up the water like a sponge!) Slice or dice them into small pieces.
• 4. Melt half the butter in a skillet. When foamy, add the chanterelles and cook over medium heat until tender, 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, add the garlic and half and half and simmer gently until the half and half and mushroom juices are reduced by a third, about 10 minutes.
• 5. When squash is done baking, pull away the flesh with a fork, heaping it into spaghetti like strands. Toss with remaining butter. Spread the squash in a baking dish , spoon the mushroom cream sauce over it, and cover lightly with parmesan cheese.
• 6. Return to the oven until heated through and the top is crisped and browned in places, 15 - 20 minutes. Serve hot.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH GRATIN WITH BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Pierce the squash in several places with a sharp knife. Cover a baking sheet with foil, and place the squash on top. Bake for one hour, turning the squash every 20 minutes until it is soft and easy to cut into with a knife. Remove from the heat, and allow the squash to cool until you can handle it. Cut in half lengthwise, and allow to cool further. Remove the seeds and discard. Scoop out the flesh, and place in a bowl. Run a fork through the flesh to separate the spaghetti-like strands, then chop coarsely. Measure out 4 cups squash. (Use whatever remains for another dish, or freeze.)
• Oil a 2-quart gratin or baking dish. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant. Add the squash. Cook, stirring often, for five minutes until the strands of squash are a little more tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the milk, salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper and basil. Stir in the squash mixture and the Gruyère, and combine well. Scrape into the baking dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan or pecorino over the top, and gently press down to moisten.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes until nicely browned and sizzling. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Poke the squash all around with a fork, then microwave it in 5-minute increments, rotating in between, until the outside is soft and yields a little when pressed with your fingers, about 15 minutes total. Be careful when rotating and removing the squash, as it will become very hot.
• Meanwhile, combine the cream, butter, garlic, thyme, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large saucepan. Peel the potatoes, then slice them paper thin on a mandoline, placing them in the cream mixture as you slice. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then remove from the heat.
• When the squash is cool enough to handle, slice it in half, scoop out the seeds, then scrape out the flesh with a fork into a medium bowl. Discard the skin and seeds.
• Layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 1/2 the potatoes. Top with 1/2 the squash, then the remaining potatoes, then the remaining squash. Pour all the liquid from the potato mixture into the baking dish, and press the vegetables down to submerge. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan on top. Put the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until golden brown and a knife slides easily into the potatoes, about 1 hour. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
