Best 7 Spaghetti Squash With Lemon And Capers Recipes

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut both squash in 1/2 lengthwise and scoop out all seeds. Rub them inside and out with half the oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Place the squash cut side down on a sheet pan or cookie sheet and cover with foil. Place in the oven and cook until the rind is slightly soft or gives with a little pressure, about 45 minutes. When they are done, scrape the meat out with a fork and reserve, keeping warm.
• In a hot skillet, add remaining olive oil and melt the butter and continue to cook until dark brown. Add the capers, zucchini, and tomatoes to stop the butter from cooking any further, and cook, stirring, until tender. Stir in the lemon juice, spaghetti squash and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

VEAL WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Pour the flour mixture on a plate, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the scaloppini in the flour and shake off the excess, set aside. Melt butter and olive oil together in a skillet over medium fire. Add scaloppini to skillet and brown on both sides. Set aside until all the veal has been cooked. After the veal has been removed from the pan, add the chicken stock to the pan over high heat and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the brown bits. Cook until the liquid has thickened. Straining the liquid may be necessary to remove the larger pieces of the scrapings. Add 1 tablespoon of butter, capers, lemon juice and parsley to sauce. Stir over a high heat about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over the veal. Garnish with sliced lemons and serve.

• Drizzle sauce over and around the chicken; garnish with parsley.

SPAGHETTI WITH SHRIMP, CAPERS AND GARLIC
