ROSEMARY BROWNED BUTTER SPAGHETTI SQUASH

I don’t remember ever eating spaghetti squash growing up in Australia. I don’t even know if it’s grown there. My first memory of it is when I moved to Canada. Here in the US it seems very popular. It’s certainly easy to cook once you manage to hack through its thick skin and hard flesh and roast it for close to an hour. Then the rewards are golden tendrils that are delicious tossed with a sweet butter sauce. Really, it’s about the butter, sweetened with maple syrup, brown sugar or honey, that make spaghetti squash appealing.

ROSEMARY BROWNED BUTTER SPAGHETTI SQUASH

These squash came form my in-laws. After losing their home in a fire, my hubby and I visited his mum and step-mum who live in Illinois, about 2 1/2 hours away. There was their home, a burned-out shell and right next to it, a vegetable garden, still flourishing even after being subjected to fire trucks and the searing heat from the house as it burned.

ROSEMARY BROWNED BUTTER SPAGHETTI SQUASH

With my rosemary still looking happy and healthy living inside, it seemed logical to include the piney herb with some browned butter and something sweet, in this case a local, raw honey. This is a sunny side any time during the colder months but definitely Rosemary Browned Butter Spaghetti Squash is a must for the holiday table, right next to a burnished turkey and glazed ham. Oh, in case you missed it, I love this squash side – Sticky Sage Roasted Butternut Squash, also using homegrown squash, this time by me. Toodles, Lovoni

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric
  • 1 large or 2 small spaghetti squash, halved lengthways
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • A pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 rosemary sprig, plus extras for garnish
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the halves of squash with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper on the cut side. Place cut side down on the baking sheet. Roast for 50 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the squash, until tender. To test if cooked, insert a small sharp knife into the squash. Don’t overcook or the squash will become mushy. Let stand for a few minutes or so while you make the butter.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted, turn the heat to medium. Simmer the butter, uncovered, for 5 minutes until it’s starting to turn golden brown and it smells nutty. Add the honey, rosemary and nutmeg; stir until well combined. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 to 2 minutes until the butter is browned. Remove from the heat.
  • Turn the squash over and using a fork, rake the flesh of the squash for form strands. Add to the butter mixture and toss to coat.

Heading back to My homeland today for mum’s fune Heading back to My homeland today for mum’s funeral. Sadly mum passed away on Wednesday & the world suddenly became less joyful, less stylish & definitely less clean & tidy. Gardens are now less pretty & food not as tasty for mum was both a fabulous cook & had the most beautiful garden. Most of you who might take the time to read this never had the honour of meeting my mum but if you had met her, she would be your friend & confidant for life. She played both mum & dad to my sis & I after our father left but we never seemed to want for anything. She was a shining star who always encouraged me to follow my dreams, even when it meant me moving halfway around the world. That just made us closer. She will be missed by those who love her ♥️
Here are some random pics: the first is mum & I in a tiny church in Drummheller, Alberta, Canada. There is one of mum in her bikini drinking a scotch at Palm Beach in Sydney (snarky me on the left in that pic). The last one is mum as a bridesmaid holding my sister. There’s one with my niece when she was little. I love the one where mum has decorated herself in daisy chains. Good memories.

Lemon Coconut Syrup Loaf - cold, snowy days calls Lemon Coconut Syrup Loaf - cold, snowy days calls for some cake. I have a nostalgic fondness for any sort of loaf cake. There’s something wholesome and reassuring about a cake cooked in a loaf pan. Not at all showy, a slice invokes, at times, a much-needed sense of security. It reminds me of mum and my nan, of times past back in my home in Sydney. I don’t recall if either mum or nan every made a Coconut Citrus Syrup Loaf but I know they both would of loved this recipe with its citrus tartness and the wonderfully sticky bottom from the syrup. Lovely just served on its own, it’s particularly good served with a dollop of clotted cream.
