Spaghetti Squash With Mushrooms And Herbs Recipes

ROASTED SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH PARMESAN MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Halve the spaghetti squash and remove the seeds. Lightly drizzle and rub the insides and outsides of the squash with olive oil, sprinkle the insides of each half with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, then place cut sides down on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the squash until fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Let rest for 10-15 minutes, until cool enough to handle, then shred in insides into strands with a fork. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper, then sauté until fragrant, about 1 additional minute. Add the chopped spinach by handfuls, allowing it to wilt, then adding more as it will fit into your skillet. Cook just until all of the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
• Add the shredded squash to the skillet, then cook just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as desired. Stir in the Parmesan and parsley. Serve warm, topped with additional parsley and Parmesan as desired.

SPAGHETTINI WITH BACON, MUSHROOMS AND HERBS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the mixture is brick red, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. When the water boils, add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, add 1 cup of the cooking water to the skillet with the sauce; stir and bring to a low simmer over medium heat. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and add to the skillet along with the butter and herbs. Cook, tossing, until the pasta absorbs some of the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed. Divide among bowls and top with cheese. Photograph by Andrew Purcell

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH OYSTER-MUSHROOM-AND-PEARL-ONION RAGOUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Using a fork, pierce the squash in several places and place it in a roasting pan. Bake for 40 minutes, turn and bake for an additional 15 to 30 minutes, until the squash is tender when pressed with a finger. Turn the oven off and leave the squash there until needed.
• Meanwhile, bring a small pot 2/3-filled with water to a boil. Cut a sliver off the root end of each of the onions and boil them for 1 minute. Drain and plunge them into a bowl of cold water. When cool, peel the onions and cut the larger ones in half.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, toss to coat and sprinkle with sugar. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the onions color, about 10 minutes. Add the parsnip, carrot, thyme and sage, season with salt and pepper and continue to cook until the onions are caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the vegetables to a bowl, add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and return it to the heat. Add the garlic and the mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Return the vegetables to the pan and add the diluted tomato paste and the soy sauce. Continue to cook until the mushrooms are tender, then add the stock and cook for 1 more minute. Turn off the heat and cover the pan.
