Bestghetti Dinner :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::



Difficulty: Easy

Time: 25 mins + Pre Roast

Servings: 4 to 6



The best kitchen hacks are all about preparation & using time wisely.  We roast spaghetti squash & yam in the oven hours before needed, so when it comes time to prep them out they are cool & easy to handle.  If you made Harvest CatchUP, use it.

WINTER SQUASH HACK:> Put spaghetti squash on a baking sheet & into a cold oven.  Set temp to 400 & set timer for 30 mins.  When timer goes off add the yam to the baking sheet, set timer for 20 mins more.  Turn off oven & allow to cool in the oven.  I do this the night before or in the morning before I head out.  Cut the squash open, pull out the seeds & rake the flesh w/ a fork to create the spaghetti.



1
Bunch
Collard greens



Yam
sliced
1/2
Cup
Or Fav BBQ, Sweet & sour sauce, Tangy salsa, etc.

Teaspoon
Sea salt

1/4
Teaspoon
Black pepper

2
Cups
Water




Chiffonade the collards & add to a deep skillet w/ peeled sliced yam, CatchUP, salt, pepper & 2 cups water.  Cover & cook over high heat for 12 to 15 mins.  



1
Bunch
Asparagus




Remove lid, stir in the asparagus & cook for a few more mins until the asparagus is crisp tender. 



2
Tablespoons
Organic butter
Or evoo or coconut oil
1
Tablespoon

Or GF Tamari
1/4
Teaspoon
Caraway seed
Opt, or fav herbs & spices
1
Tablespoon
Water



Spaghetti squash

1
Medium
Spring onion
Sliced
1-2
Medium
Tomatoes
Diced




Melt the butter w/ the soy sauce, caraway & 1 Tbs water over high heat.  When the butter is melted add in the spring onion, tomato & squash & cook till heated through.  Don’t overcook the tomatoes. 



1
Large
Navel orange







Serve family style side by side on a large platter w/ wedges of orange.  Squeeze the fresh oj all over the collards just before serving.  Butter & soy sauce is a classic umami combo known as Shoyu Butter. 




Remarkably satisfying, spaghetti squash should be plated more often.  It’s clean flavor & appealing texture goes well w/ the earthy chew of the collards, the sweet creamy yam & the fresh asparagus.  If you like mushrooms try it w/ Portobello & shiitake.  A fresh squeeze of citrus isn’t limited to just lemons anymore!
