Provided by Sylvia Fountaine | Feasting at Home Blog

Categories     Main

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small spaghetti squash (about 2 lbs)
1 Tablespoon butter ( optional, or just use olive oil)
2 Tablespoon olive oil
½ an onion, chopped
12- 16 ounces sliced mushrooms - cremini, shiitake or chanterelles
4-6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 Tablespoons fresh torn sage
salt and pepper to taste
generous pinch nutmeg
¼ cup grated Romano cheese (or Parmesan) OPTIONAL
drizzle truffle oil - optional but delicious, especially if going vegan.
toasted pine nuts - optional but delicious!

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 F
  • Cut spaghetti squash in half (widthwise) and place open side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 30-40 minutes until knife-tender, turn on their side, and roast 5-10 more minutes to allow steam to dry out!
  • While squash is baking, heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions until just tender about 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms, turn heat to medium and saute until they begin to release their liquid, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and sage and continue cooking until mushrooms brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper and nutmeg. Feel free to deglaze the pan with a little wine if you like, cooking this off.
  • Scoop out the spaghetti squash seeds, then add the long strands into the saute pan with the mushrooms and stir to incorporate.
  • Taste for salt, and add more if necessary. Stir in most of the grated cheese, saving some for garnish. Place in a serving bowl, top with remaining cheese and a drizzle of truffle oil and a sprinkling of pine nuts.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium spaghetti squash (about 2 pounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil (plus additional for drizzling on squash)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
16 ounces sliced cremini baby bella mushrooms
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley (plus additional for serving as desired)
3 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
4 ounces freshly grated Parmesan (plus additional for serving as desired)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Halve the spaghetti squash and remove the seeds. Lightly drizzle and rub the insides and outsides of the squash with olive oil, sprinkle the insides of each half with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, then place cut sides down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the squash until fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Let rest for 10-15 minutes, until cool enough to handle, then shred in insides into strands with a fork. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper, then sauté until fragrant, about 1 additional minute. Add the chopped spinach by handfuls, allowing it to wilt, then adding more as it will fit into your skillet. Cook just until all of the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the shredded squash to the skillet, then cook just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as desired. Stir in the Parmesan and parsley. Serve warm, topped with additional parsley and Parmesan as desired.

Delicata Squash and Roasted Mushrooms with Thyme image

ROASTED MUSHROOM AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH TART



Roasted Mushroom and Butternut Squash Tart image

This is a substantial tart with a crunchy, whole-grain dough. Don't be put off by the yeast in the dough. It makes it both airy and crisp, and isn't at all hard to handle. You don't even need a mixer; this dough comes together quickly and easily by hand. For the most complex flavors, use a variety of different types of mushrooms, though just one kind is fine if that's what you have. Oysters, maitake, shiitake, black trumpet and chanterelles are best, but even cremini mushrooms work nicely. Serve this warm or at room temperature, preferably within 6 hours of baking for the crispiest crust, though it will hold up for a day or two if you store it in the refrigerator and reheat it in a 300 degree oven before serving.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup/60 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 cups/160 grams all-purpose flour, more as needed
3/4 cup/110 grams whole-wheat or rye flour
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
10 ounces/283 grams oyster or other mushrooms, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
3 large leeks, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
1 pound/454 grams butternut squash, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 2 cups)
Fine sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 cup/114 grams grated white Cheddar or Gruyère cheese
2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)
Fresh lemon juice, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, sprinkle dry yeast and sugar over 2/3 cup/158 milliliters warm water. Let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes, then add oil.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flours and salt, then stir in yeast mixture with a wooden spoon until combined. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until dough is uniform and elastic, 3 to 5 minutes, adding more flour if needed. (Flour your hands if necessary to keep dough from sticking.) Or, if the dough seems a bit dry, add a bit more water.
  • Transfer to an oiled bowl, turn dough to coat it with oil, cover with a damp cloth and let rest in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours (or longer if you kitchen is cold or drafty).
  • Meanwhile, prepare the topping: Heat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss mushrooms and leeks with 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spread squash and mushroom mixtures out evenly on their respective pans and roast until lightly browned at the edges, 15 to 20 minutes for the mushrooms, 18 to 22 for the squash. Don't let the vegetables get too brown, you will be cooking them again. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack and let vegetables cool. (You can roast the vegetables up to 8 hours in advance.)
  • Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet. Roll dough out on a floured surface to an 11- by 16-inch/28- by 41-centimeter rectangle, then transfer to oiled baking sheet and press the dough out to the sides. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven back to 450 degrees. Spread mushroom mixture over dough, sprinkle with thyme and red pepper flakes and top with squash. Sprinkle lightly with salt, then with cheese, then drizzle with olive oil. Bake until golden brown all over, 14 to 18 minutes. Serve hot or warm, sprinkled with chives if desired and lemon juice to taste.
