SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH GARLIC, PARSLEY AND BREADCRUMBS
Spaghetti squash gets its name from the fact that once it is cooked, the flesh breaks down into long spaghettilike strands. I find spaghetti squash a bit dull on its own, as it does not have the sweetness and depth of many other winter squash. But it is hard to resist substituting spaghetti squash for pasta every once in a while, and the squash will pick up other robust flavors in the dish. Most spaghetti squash are pretty large; you will need only half of a 3 to 3 1/2-pound squash for this recipe. You can toss the leftovers with tomato sauce the next day.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Pierce the squash in several places with a sharp knife. Cover a baking sheet with foil, and place the squash on top. Bake for one hour, until the squash is soft and easy to cut with a knife. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool until you can handle it. Cut in half lengthwise, and allow to cool some more. Remove the seeds and discard. Scoop out the flesh from half of the squash, and place in a bowl. Run a fork through the flesh to separate the spaghettilike strands. You should have about 4 cups of squash. (Use some squash from the other half if necessary). Set aside the other half for another dish.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add the garlic and bread crumbs. When they begin to sizzle and smell fragrant and the breadcrumbs are crisp - that is, after about a minute - stir in the squash and parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss together over medium heat until the squash is infused with the garlic and oil and heated through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a warm serving dish, top with freshly grated Parmesan and serve.

Spaghetti ai Funghi by Lidia Bastianich - we made it last night and it was pure comfort food :) at its best! We used button & cremini mushrooms only but that is due to personal preference.

Steps:
- Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Scatter the garlic & crushed red pepper flakes over the oil and cook, shaking the pan, until golden, about 2 minutes.
- Add as many of the mushrooms as will fit comfortably into the skillet.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper and toss in the sage.
- Add the remaining mushrooms as the mushrooms in the skillet wilt and make room.
- Cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until the mushrooms are sizzling and brown, about 10 minutes. (If the mushrooms have given off a lot of water during cooking, you'll have to wait for that liquid to boil off before the mushrooms begin to brown.).
- Stir the spaghetti into the boiling wate; return to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Cook the pasta, semi-covered, stirring occasionally, until done, about 8 minutes.
- Add the stock to the browned mushrooms, bring to a boil, and lower the heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer.
- Cook until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
- If the skillet is large enough to accommodate the sauce and pasta, fish the pasta out of the boiling water with a large wire skimmer and drop it directly into the sauce in the skillet.
- If not, drain the pasta, return it to the pot, and pour in the sauce.
- Toss in the parsley and bring the sauce and pasta to a boil, stirring gently to coat the pasta with sauce.
- Check the seasoning, adding salt and peppers if necessary.
- Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the cheese, and serve immediately in warm bowls.

SPAGHETTI WITH EDAMAME, PARSLEY, GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL
Thanks to by Martha Shulman in the 3/27/10 New York Times - Series on dinner for $1.50 or less. "The pasta company Barilla is now making a mixed semolina and whole grain pasta called Barilla Plus that combines a grain and legume flour blend with the traditional semolina. It's a little more expensive than regular pasta, but you'll get more nutrition for your buck. The other ingredients here are not at all pricey. If you can't find the whole grain pasta, this is still an easy, inexpensive and nutritious dish. Advance preparation: This isn't a dish to do in advance, but the whole thing can be made while you're waiting for the water to boil. "

Steps:
- 1. Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Meanwhile, turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and drop in the garlic. When it's chopped and adhering to the sides of the bowl, stop the machine and scrape down the bowl with a spatula. Add the parsley to the bowl, and process until finely chopped. With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil. Transfer the mixture to a large pasta bowl. (You can also use a mini-chop for this task.)
- 2. When the water in the pot comes to a boil, salt generously, add the edamame or peas and cook five minutes. Remove from the pot with a strainer or a slotted spoon, and place in the bowl with the parsley.
- 3. Add the spaghetti to the boiling water, and cook al dente following the timing instructions on the package. Checking for doneness about a minute before the stated cooking time. When the pasta is cooked, remove 1/2 cup of the cooking water and add to the bowl with the herbs and edamame or peas. Drain the pasta, and toss with the mixture in the bowl. Add Parmesan if desired, and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic and parsley will give your spaghetti the best flavor. If you can, buy them from a farmers market or grow your own.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the spaghetti, don't overcrowd the pan. This will make it difficult for the spaghetti to cook evenly.
- Cook the spaghetti al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the ideal texture for spaghetti.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is made from olives that have been picked and pressed within 24 hours.
- Season the spaghetti to taste: Once the spaghetti is cooked, season it with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
Conclusion:
Garlic parsley spaghetti is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover spaghetti. With its fresh, garlicky flavor and the bright pop of parsley, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
