13563 Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Parmigiano-Reggiano 1 hour 30 mins 10 mins 4 to 6 servings Thu Oct 23 07:01:00 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 27 17:53:43 -0700 2009 Easy American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/13563 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 00:53:43 GMT Switch up pasta with squash Switch up pasta with squash for this veggie-based dish. Named for its long, thin strands of noodlelike flesh, spaghetti squash is usually accompanied by tomatoes, which add a zip of flavor. Looking for something different yet still familiar we were inspired by Cacio e Pepe Pasta and decided to pair the squash with Parmigiano-Reggiano and delicate aromatics. Serve along with a roasted chicken and a simple green salad for a no-fuss supper.

  • Heat the oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Cut squash in half lengthwise and scrape out seeds. Brush flesh with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place squash, cut sides up, on a baking sheet and roast until fork tender, about 50 minutes.
  • Remove squash from oven and let sit at room temperature until cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes. Scrape flesh with a fork to make long squash strands; set aside.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until oil shimmers, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and shallot, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook until softened and lightly brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add squash, toss with tongs to coat thoroughly, and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add cheese one handful at a time while tossing squash to evenly coat. Serve with freshly ground black pepper and extra cheese.
