I only have the one perfect squash kept from last year (Super Mario as he's known) - any advice about the tastiest / best recipe you've found for his last meal (so to speak)? Or are there any recipes you tried and found disappointing ...

Brilliant with bolognaise.
Baked the squash in two halves, face down on baking tray.
Make bolognaise sauce.
Scrape 'spaghetti' out of squash and mix with the sauce.
Put mixture back into skins, top with grated cheese, bake in the oven until cheese melts...
Eat! -

I've never baked squashes without peeling, but I'll give it a go

We just stabbed it a few times, wrapped in foil and baked it whole...once cooked cut open remove seeds then with two forks and lots of butter and black pepper sort if loosened up the flesh.S*d the housework I have a lottie to dig
a batch of jam is always an act of creation ..Christine Ferber

Make sure you scrape out the seeds... forgot that step! If you roast them alongside the two halves of the squash they're supposed to be quite nice!Originally posted by Goldcrest View PostCheers Stan80

I'm torn now between the 2 ideas ...
binley100 - have you roasted other whole squashes successfully - I've also got a Sweet Lightning left - would it be the same principle - stab and foil - and is it the same principle as meat - 20 minutes a pound plus 20 minutes?Comment

I bake them whole too, works really well.

Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Bring them to the boil in a saucepan with a brick, then turn down to a simmer for five hours. Drain water, throw away the squash and eat the brick.Comment

Spaghetti squashes are the only ones I roast whole but I eat them differently too as use them as a pasta substitute whereas all other squashes are either mashed or left in chunks.
