SPAGHETTI SQUASH CUSTARD PIE FOR WEIGHT WATCHERS



Spaghetti Squash Custard Pie for Weight Watchers image

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!

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1 cup water
1/2 cup Splenda sugar substitute
4 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup egg substitute
4 tablespoons fat-free margarine (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons coconut extract
1 cup cooked spaghetti squash

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F. Coat a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Put all ingredients except squash in your blender and whiz on low for a minute or so.
  • 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.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup light beer
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds round steak
1 small spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon garlic powder

1 ½ cups low-sodium beef broth
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Whisk beer, extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag.

  • Cook steaks on the preheated grill until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Let steak rest; cut into 1x1/2-inch strips.

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper until beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Add broth, 4 dashes Worcestershire sauce, and thyme; bring to a simmer. Slowly stir 1 tablespoon flour into mixture until thickened, adding more flour if needed. Stir steak into mixture and remove from heat.
  • Spray a 9-inch square casserole dish with cooking spray. Add beef mixture to dish and carefully spread squash mixture over steak.
  • Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle Swiss cheese over squash layer. Increase temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and cook until cheese begins to brown, checking every 5 minutes, about 15 minutes.

Don't let the name throw you! This is awesome!!! This was my baby girl's absolute favorite dessert (not counting my low carb chocolate cup cakes!) I have probably made this recipe about a hundred times and who knows how many ways! I have only listed a few of the variations that I have tried. You are only limited by your lack of...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c spaghetti squash (cooked)
3 large eggs
2 oz heavy cream
1 cup c ideal sweetener (regular or brown)
(can use splenda, but use only 1/2 cup)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp coconut extract
pinch salt (a tiny pinch!)

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.

With its tender spaghetti-like strands, flavorful filling, and crispy crust, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
