MOCK COCONUT PIE (SPAGHETTI SQUASH PIE)
Not too many people would know this pie is not made with coconut, but actually uses spaghetti squash. I wasn't sure what to do with a bumper crop of spaghetti squash and this quickly became an annual answer to a now non-issue!

SPAGHETTI SQUASH CUSTARD PIE FOR WEIGHT WATCHERS
If you use your imagination, you have a pretty good coconut custard pie for dieters, sans the crust. I found this recipe on a WW blog site and bravely tried it. Before you get excited, no, it doesn't taste like Mom's coconut pie, but if you crave dessert (I did) and happen to be following WW Core diet plan (I am), Bob's your uncle! ;-) Prep time does not include cooking the squash - use your favorite method for this, microwave or oven or use up leftovers as I did. The original recipe called 4 eggs, but I used 2 + 1/2 cup Eggbeaters. The fat-free margarine option: this was in the recipe as I copied it but that's not something I ever use. Unable to think of a reasonable substitute, I left it out altogether. My pie turned out just fine but use the margarine if you prefer. Or heck, go all out and sling in some butter. Just don't forget to count the points!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350*F. Coat a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

- Stir in the squash by hand. Pour mixture in the pan. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until just set. The top will puff up and brown.
- NB: I like it better cold. The cornmeal settles to the bottom and forms a kind of sweet polenta crust.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH PIE
The first time I ate spaghetti squash, I did not like it. The second time I had it, I baked it too much, so thought I would make a pie from. It turned out better than I expected, so from that I thought there's always something that you can make from an vegetable that you don't care for.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- 2. Stir everything together, pour into glass pie plate and bake until set. (appx 10 to 20 minutes. I am high altitude, so, sometimes it takes about 25 minutes. When I lived at sea level, it took about 10 minutes. So, keep an eye on it.)
- 3. Variations: Pumpkin Pie Taste: Put cooked spaghetti squash and other ingredients into blender and blend until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice (instead of 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 1/2 teaspoon coconut extracts) 2 teaspoons maple flavoring (instead of 1 1/2 teaspoons of coconut) 2 teaspoons of banana extract instead of coconut
- 4. TO COOK SPAGHETTI SQUASH: Cut squash in half, remove seeds. Put cut side down on plate and cover with plastic wrap. Cook 5 to 15 minutes. Cooking time depends on wattage of microwave. I have a 1200 watt and it takes about 5 minutes. But it took 15 minutes or longer with my old one. It should be fork tender. When it is thoroughly cooked, take a fork and scrape out all of the 'spaghetti' blot excess water from spaghetti and continue as directed in the above recipe.

Tips:
- Pick the Right Squash: Select a spaghetti squash that is firm and has a deep yellow color. A heavier squash usually indicates denser flesh.
- Perfectly Cooked Squash: To ensure the spaghetti squash is perfectly cooked, pierce it with a fork. If the fork easily slides through, the squash is ready.
- Shredding the Squash: Use a fork to shred the cooked spaghetti squash. This will create long, spaghetti-like strands.
- Seasoning is Key: Don't be shy with the seasonings. A flavorful filling is what makes this pie shine. Adjust the herbs and spices to your preference.
- Cheese Options: You can use a variety of cheeses in this pie. Mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, or even a blend of cheeses all work well.
- Golden Crust: For a golden, crispy crust, brush the top of the pie with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
