Spaghetti Squash and Potato Gratin image

This recipe takes creamy potato gratin to a new level. By pairing it with spaghetti squash, you're adding amazing texture and great flavor to this traditional dish - plus finding yet another reason to buy spaghetti squash!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Cooking spray
1 large spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, such as russets (about 2 large potatoes)

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for spaghetti squash that is firm and has a deep yellow color. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Cook the squash properly: To ensure that the squash is cooked evenly, pierce it with a fork several times before baking it. Bake the squash until it is tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Use a sharp knife: When cutting the squash, use a sharp knife to avoid tearing the flesh.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce for spaghetti squash au gratin should be cooked until it is heated through, but not overcooked. Overcooked sauce will be thick and gloopy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or mozzarella.
  • Serve immediately: Spaghetti squash au gratin is best served immediately after it is made. The squash will start to soften and lose its texture if it is allowed to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti squash au gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it can be easily adapted to suit your dietary needs. Whether you are looking for a vegetarian main course or a side dish to serve with your favorite protein, spaghetti squash au gratin is sure to please everyone at the table.
