SPAGHETTI PANCAKE
This is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti, especially when there's enough leftovers for one and a half people, but four or five people to feed. Dehydrated minced onion can be substituted for fresh, and you can use grated Parmesan cheese (canned/bottled or fresh) if desired. Cooking time will actually vary according to how high a heat you use. I'm not sure where I found the original recipe, but I suspect it's in my favorite cookbook again - The Creative Cooking Course, edited by Charlotte Turgeon.

Steps:
- Add spaghetti squash and eggs to a food processer and pulse until smooth.
- Transfer squash mixture to a bowl and add flour, sugar, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a fork until combined.
- Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Scoop batter onto the skillet, about ½ cup per pancake. Add blueberries on top of the batter. Cook 5-7 minutes per side.
- Serve with maple syrup.
Tips:
- Choose the right spaghetti squash: Look for a spaghetti squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep yellow color. Avoid squashes with soft spots or blemishes.
- Cook the spaghetti squash properly: To ensure that the spaghetti squash is cooked evenly, pierce it with a fork several times before baking. This will allow the steam to escape and prevent the squash from bursting.
- Use a sharp knife to shred the spaghetti squash: This will help to create long, thin strands that will resemble spaghetti.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough pancakes. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
- Serve the pancakes immediately: Spaghetti squash pancakes are best served hot. You can top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
