SPAGHETTI SQUASH GRATIN WITH BASIL



Spaghetti Squash Gratin With Basil image

Recently on the Recipes for Health page on Facebook, I asked readers what they were finding in their weekly delivered produce boxes. Requests for spaghetti squash recipes came pouring in. I was working on basil dishes already, so I decided to combine the two ingredients in this gratin.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course, side dish

Time 2h30m

Yield Serves six as a main dish, eight as a side

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 spaghetti squash, about 3 pounds
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt
freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs
1/2 cup low-fat milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (1/4 cup basil leaves)
2 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino romano

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, turning the squash every 20 minutes until it is soft and easy to cut into with a knife. Remove from the heat, and allow the squash to cool until you can handle it. Cut in half lengthwise, and allow to cool further. Remove the seeds and discard. Scoop out the flesh, and place in a bowl. Run a fork through the flesh to separate the spaghetti-like strands, then chop coarsely. Measure out 4 cups squash. (Use whatever remains for another dish, or freeze.)
  • Oil a 2-quart gratin or baking dish. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant. Add the squash. Cook, stirring often, for five minutes until the strands of squash are a little more tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the milk, salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper and basil. Stir in the squash mixture and the Gruyère, and combine well. Scrape into the baking dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan or pecorino over the top, and gently press down to moisten.
  • Bake 40 to 45 minutes until nicely browned and sizzling. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Spaghetti Squash: Opt for medium-sized spaghetti squash with a deep yellow color. Ensure it feels heavy for its size, indicating a dense and flavorful flesh.
  • Cooking the Spaghetti Squash: Bake the spaghetti squash cut-side down in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until the flesh is tender and easily shredded.
  • Shredding the Spaghetti Squash: Use a fork to gently scrape the cooked spaghetti squash flesh into long, spaghetti-like strands. This technique preserves the texture and prevents the strands from becoming mushy.
  • Making the Smoked Gouda Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour to create a roux, and gradually whisk in milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring continuously, until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in smoked gouda cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth and creamy.
  • Assembling the Gratin: Layer the shredded spaghetti squash, smoked gouda sauce, and grated Parmesan cheese in a greased baking dish. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used up.
  • Baking the Gratin: Bake the assembled gratin in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

This delectable spaghetti squash smoked gouda gratin is not only a delightful dish, but it also offers a healthier alternative to traditional pasta gratins. The combination of tender spaghetti squash, creamy smoked gouda sauce, and melted Parmesan cheese creates a satisfying and flavorful meal. Whether you're looking for a vegetarian main course or a unique side dish, this gratin is sure to impress.
