The return of spaghetti squash gives me the chance to offer one more recipe – Spicy Spaghetti Squash with Shrimp – from Southern Living. Sort of like shrimp and grits but with spaghetti squash.

(2022) Spaghetti Squash Slaw with Mint, Hazelnuts, and Pomegranate
I found this spaghetti squash slaw recipe at seriouseats.com. That’s what I’m doing with ours this week – but using chopped pecans instead of hazelnuts because the hazelnuts I had in the freezer went into baklava for a recipe we’re publishing in the AJC next week. I’ll probably skip the pomegranate seeds as it’s not really pomegranate season and I am never pleased with those packaged pomegranate seeds in the produce section.
(2020) Broccoli and Cheese Spaghetti Squash Casserole
From thekitchen.com.
(2019) Spaghetti Squash Salad with Chick Peas
I also like this idea from Cook’s Country magazine.
(2019) Shrimp with Spaghetti Squash
If I had that spaghetti squash with me, I’d make this recipe from Everydayfood.com to take advantage of fresh caught Georgia shrimp. Hope there’ll be another squash in the box when we get back.
(2018) La Casa Italian Grill’s Spaghetti Squash with Fresh Vegetables and Marinara Sauce
We ran this recipe for spaghetti squash in the AJC last year and it’s absolutely delicious. Probably you’re already doing something like this, but this might inspire a small tweak in your own recipe. I’m making this tomorrow, but using the slicer tomatoes from the box. They’ll work fine, just be a little more “saucy” than Romas.
(2017) Spaghetti Squash with Kale Pesto and Burrata
So I’ll be honest. I have no idea what those greens were in today’s box. But I do know they’ll make good pesto – so where it says “kale” here, substitute “unknown greens.” It’s a recipe from Food 52.
No burratta? Fresh mozzarella will work just fine.
Spaghetti Squash with Squash Seed Broth
I was surprised to see a spaghetti squash in this week’s box, but it’s a great chance to share this recipe from Steven Satterfield of Miller Union and his cookbook, “From Root to Leaf.” Fresh turmeric and ginger are still available at your local farmers market. Typical of Satterfield, he uses every bit of the squash.
North African Spiced Spaghetti Squash
A recipe from “The Sugar Solution Cookbook.” If you’ve tired of savory preparations for this year’s bumper crop of spaghetti squash, try this slightly sweet version.
Curry Spaghetti Squash Cakes
Hilary White of The Hil at Serenbe demonstrated this recipe at the Morningside Farmers Market last year. To cook your spaghetti squash, she recommends preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Split the squash in half and place it on a rimmed baking sheet with a little bit of water. Bake it until it’s tender, remove from the oven and cool. Then she takes out the seeds, and scrapes the squash with a fork to release the “spaghetti.” And then she squeezes the spaghetti in a dish towel to remove excess moisture.
