SPAGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO
Steps:
- Slice spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and clean as you would a pumpkin. Completely submerge 1 half at a time, in a large pot of boiling water and cook for about 20 minutes until the inside is just tender to a fork and pulls apart in strands. (Cook's Note: It is better to undercook if you're not sure.) Remove, drain and cool with cold water or ice bath to stop the cooking.
- Scoop out the cooked squash from its skin with a spoon as you would an avocado and discard the skin. Use a fork to fluff and separate the squash into "spaghetti"- like strands. You can also use your hands. Reserve the separated cooked squash and dip with a strainer into boiling water to reheat just before serving.
- Melt half the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cream and reduce for about 2 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in the rest of the butter and parsley. Place spaghetti squash in a large serving bowl, and pour Alfredo sauce over squash. Garnish with basil and tomatoes. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pierce the spaghetti squash shells several times with a fork. Brush 1 teaspoon olive oil evenly over the cut sides of the squash and season with salt. Place spaghetti squash, cut sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
- Use a sharp knife to cut 1/4 inch from the top of the garlic. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Wrap in a double layer of foil and place on the baking sheet with the squash.
- Roast in the preheated oven until squash shreds easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.
- Start the sauce after the squash and garlic have been roasting for 20 minutes. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour in cream and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, whisking quickly until smooth. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Remove the squash and garlic from the oven. Pull squash into spaghetti strands with a fork.
- Allow the garlic to cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves into a small dish. Use a fork to mash the pulp into a smooth consistency. Add to the cheese sauce; stir well.

SKINNY SPAGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO
Some of you are probably thinking, 'what the heck is this thing?' and 'is that really spaghetti in there?' It's a spaghetti squash and nope, no pasta here. This is the squash's natural texture when baked...cool, huh? It's not only beautiful but absolutely delicious. Spaghetti squash has a slight sweetness that complements any savory flavors you stuff into it. Top each half with a pinch of red pepper flakes and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot.

VEAL CHOPS WITH PUTTANESCA SAUCE AND ALFREDO SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- To a microwave-safe dish add 1/4 inch of water. Place the spaghetti squash in the dish cut side down. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. With a small knife puncture a few holes in the plastic so that the steam has a way to escape. Place the squash in the microwave on High power for 17 minutes.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons of the EVOO. Add the anchovies, garlic, and red pepper flakes. With a wooden spoon, mash the anchovies into the oil as it heats. The anchovies will begin to melt about after 1 to 2 minutes and they will develop a nutty flavor. Add the olives, capers, and tomatoes and bring it up to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until ready to serve.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO. Liberally season the veal chops with salt and pepper. Once the pan is screaming hot and you see the first wafts of smoke rising, add the chops to the hot skillet and cook on the first side for 5 minutes. Resist the temptation to move the chops around in the pan; you want a nice brown crust on them and messing with them won't help you get there. Before flipping the chops, reduce the heat to medium; flip and cook them on the second side for 8 to 10 minutes, or until desired doneness. Remove the chops from the pan and let them rest, covered with a foil tent for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the spaghetti squash from the microwave very carefully-it is piping hot. Using a fork, scrape the "spaghetti" from the squash shell and place in a bowl. Toss the "spaghetti" with the Parmigiano-Reggiano, butter, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Serve each chop with some of the puttanesca sauce on top and a portion of the "spaghetti Alfredo" alongside.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH (PALEO-FRIENDLY) ALFREDO SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Puncture several holes throughout the spaghetti squash to allow the steam to escape. Place the spaghetti squash on a baking dish and put in the oven for 1 hour. When the squash is done, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting it open. The inside will be very steamy and hot, but will cut very easily! While the spaghetti squash is finishing its cooking time and cooling a bit, make your sauce. SAUCE: Heat the oil in a skillet. Saute garlic and when garlic starts to brown, add the shrimp. Saute until shrimp is nicely pink and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside. Whisk arrowroot and chicken broth together, and add to skillet. Cook on medium heat until it starts to thicken. Slowly add coconut milk along with remaining herbs and spices. Add the shrimp back to the skillet. Finish with a pinch of sea salt if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. First, prepare the squash. Cut spaghetti squash in half using a large sharp knife, scoop out the seeds and place cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet covered with water. Bake until tender, about an hour. As an alternate way of baking: poke a few holes deep into the whole squash with a paring knife. Bake for 60 minutes, remove from the oven and let rest for 10 to 20 minutes before slicing in half with a large serrated knife. Scoop out the seedy inside leaving the spaghetti strands. Once squash is cooked, use a fork to gently scrape the "spaghetti" strands into the center. For the sauce, melt butter in a small pot over medium-low heat. Once hot, add garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in flour, cooking for another minute while stirring. Whisk in milk until no lumps remain. Once hot, add cream cheese and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in Parmesan, salt and pepper. Spoon sauce equally into each spaghetti squash half. Gently pull up the spaghetti strands to coat as much as possible with the sauce. Top with extra Parmesan and place under the broiler of your oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Top each half with a pinch of red pepper flakes and fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Set smoker to 350 degrees Half squash long ways, scrape seeds and innards then spray with cooking spray and season. Place the dome side up when putting into smoker (to control smoke penetration) Cook for roughly 40 min-1 hour (this is a preference thing) If you like your noodles AL dente then cook them a little under) Let cool a bit and scrape your spaghetti from the squash using two forks going with the grain (not against!). Set aside! Sauce: Saute garlic cloves (how many is your to taste I don't like a lot of garlic) in a bit of butter at low temp until garlic is translucent (do not let any color develop on garlic). Squeeze in you panna da Cucina and stir. Maintain low heat (any scorching will ruin your sauce). Add handfuls of Parma and Romano and a big pinch of parsley and black pepper. Since the grated aged cheese is basically your salt component, please reserve salting until end. Mix & Bake: Combine squash and sauce in a mixing bowl and mix and re-season with cheese and black pepper. Give it a taste then add cheese and salt to taste. Next add 2 egg yolks to mixture. Put it in a casserole and top with cracker crumbs, cheese and parsley. Bake at 350 covered for approx. 20 minutes or until bubbling. Uncover and broil for a few minutes until cracker crumbs are brown.
