Chili Spaghetti Squash!
Apr. 22nd, 2009 08:22 amLast night Josh and I made Chili Spaghetti (Cincinnati Chili over spaghetti with cheese on top), only we substituted spaghetti squash for the spaghetti. We first saw this substitution of squash for pasta at Chris and Newt's house a few years ago, and I must say neither of us were too keen on the idea at the time. However, Josh and I both really like Chili Spaghetti, but it bothers me that we've never been able to come up with a vegetable that seems to complement it properly.
Well, now we have. Chili over spaghetti squash is certainly different, but quite yummy (possibly yummier, but that's a matter of opinion) and probably a pretty big improvement on the health of the meal.
Yay squash! And on that note, I've signed up for a community garden plot at Epic (though I wont necessarily get one, they are concerned they may have too many applicants and assign by lottery... though I'm trying to figure out how with the bagillion acers Epic owns they can't just make more plots, hopefully they will figure that out). I'm rather excited about the prospect of a garden plot at work. I will be able to go visit it over lunch. I've also been looking at seeds and picked out a dozen or so squash I want to plant (not even counting spaghetti squash). I don't think I'm actually going to plant that many, but it's really tempting because squash is so yummy! And seed savers has seeds available for kinds of squash I've never seen, let alone tasted yet. Mmmm squash...
