ROASTED SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH CURRY-SHALLOT BUTTER
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- With a sharp knife, carefully cut about four 1/2-inch slits in the squash to allow steam to escape while it cooks. Put the squash on the prepared baking sheet and roast for about 1 1/2 hours. Let the squash cool for about 20 minutes on the baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, with a fork, mash the butter, curry powder, shallots, cilantro, salt, lemon zest and pepper to taste until well combined.
- Cut the squash in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. With a large fork, pull the squash fibers away from the outer peel (use a towel to hold the squash in place if necessary). Transfer the warm squash to a serving bowl and top with the curry butter. Toss until the butter is melted and evenly mixed. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve warm with the pine nuts scattered on top.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for a firm, heavy squash with smooth, unblemished skin. Acorn, butternut, and kabocha squash are all good choices for roasting.
- Roast the squash at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the sugars in the squash and give it a delicious, slightly crispy exterior.
- Use a variety of spices: Curry powder, cumin, coriander, and paprika are all good choices for seasoning roasted squash. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for extra flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the squash, make sure to leave plenty of space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly.
- Roast the squash until it is tender: The squash is done roasting when it is easily pierced with a fork. Depending on the size of the squash, this can take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes.
