By Christopher Lewis


Pumpkin season arrived. It's time to enjoy in these lovely vegetables all over again. There are so many varieties to choose from, but today is time for spaghetti squash recipes. Starting with the most simplest one, and continuing with more interesting and surprising recipes. So, here is the basic recipe to follow.

Preheat your oven on 350 degrees, clean and cut your squash in half and remove the seeds. Take a pan, cover it with baking paper and grease it with some butter. Place the half side down and bake for one hour or so. Using a fork, scrape strings of flesh into some bowl, toss with butter and add some Parmesan if you want. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine these vegetable spaghetti with different sauces, meat balls or sausages, or simply make salsa and pour it over, sprinkle with herbs and grated hard cheese, and your perfectly light and nutritious meal is done. You can use them as any other pasta, and combine them with any of your favorite dishes. But, if you want something a little bit different, here are some ideas for you.

For example, you could make this lovely simple dish you will positively enjoy in. You will need filo sheets, butter, squash spaghetti, fresh cottage cheese, one egg, salt and sour cream. Beat the egg, add cheese and noodles, season with salt and fill your filo sheets with this mixture. Roll the filo and place them in your pan, one by one.

Spread sour cream on rolled pasta and sprinkle salt on the surface. Bake for thirty minutes in preheated oven, on 350F. Serve with yogurt for light supper, or as dessert after tasty meal, with a glass of white wine. It tastes really great and you certainly won't be disappointed.

If you prefer interesting salads, here is one nice and easy to make recipe for you. Prepare squash noodles on the usual way. If you want, you can bake the whole squash in the oven first, just make sure to use a knife to prick it all over before. Some people even bake them in the microwave, and this is much faster, it takes maybe twenty minutes or so.

In any case, for nice, light and delicious salad you need these veggie noodles, 200 grams young spinach and feta cheese each, salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil. If spinach leaves aren't really young, cut them into strips. Dice the cheese. Mice one clove garlic and combine all the ingredients. You will really like this simple but delicious salad, and you can also make your ow recipes.

If you enjoy in pumpkin soup, you will probably just love it in this version. Cook your pumpkin soup the usual way, add spaghetti in and coo for a few minutes. Sprinkle with pumpkin seed oil and chopped parsley leaves, and, if you want, you may also add a tablespoon of sour cream on the top. Serve with toasted bread cubes and enjoy in this lovely meal.
