Spaghetti Squash with Moroccan Spices image

My husband wasn't a big fan of spaghetti squash made the usual way with butter and garlic. I was making Leah Stacey's recipe on Just a Pinch for "Cumin Grilled Pork Chops" I found this recipe from the Epicurious website. Since both recipes had cumin in them they paired up beautifully! My husband loved it! Try Leah's pork chops...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 - 4 lb spaghetti squash
4 Tbsp butter
2 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh (chopped)

Steps:

  • 1. Pierce squash (about an inch deep) all over with a small sharp knife to prevent bursting. Cook in microwave oven on high power for 6 minutes. Turn squash over and microwave until squash feels slightly soft when pressed, 6 to 8 minutes more. (Time may vary depending on microwave wattage). Cool squash for 5 minutes.
  • 2. While squash is cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute.
  • 3. Stir in cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper and salt. Remove from heat.
  • 4. Carefully halve squash lengthwise (it will give off steam) and remove seeds. Scrape squash flesh with a fork into bowl, loosening and separating strands from skin.
  • 5. Toss with spiced butter and fresh cilantro.

This recipe was just okay. I wasn't a huge fan of the Moroccan spices.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my squash turned out mushy. I'm going to try this recipe again and see if I can get it right.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of squash, but I'm so glad I did! The Moroccan spices really make this dish special.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.
