Spaghetti Squash..... Halved, drizzled with Olive Oil & roasted for about an hour at 400 (Fahrenheit)
Where can you buy spaghetti squash? Been looking for ages. Realise it’s out of season at mo but when in where can I get some?

Martin isn't in the UK I'm afraid Sally x
 
Roast peppers, courgettes and aubergines, add tin tomatoes, be careful of carbs though, sautéed onions and garlic, oregano and you have a perfect ratatouille. 16grms carbs per tin toms but that would make four portions easily. Also like roasted leeks, I haven’t tried roasted sprouts but I do par boil and half and pan fry with chopped up bacon. That’s tasty.

Fortunately, in Southern California, they are available year round..... When I lived in the UK we used to grow them each year, quite easy to grow but we would end up with way too many to eat....
 
Excuse my ignorance but I've never heard of it! lol, what is it and where am I most likely to find it?


:( x

Don't know whether you have a Jewish supermarket (most cities have one) but you would get some there. Makes great soup. Purple kohlrabi is particularly good.

Lucky you! Love California. I see there are plenty of low carb US recipes using spaghetti squash. We tried one from Wholefoods market and loved it. However they have recently closed down in Gloucestershire now I’ve got a taste for them.

Supermarket probably not the right word, lol. We do have a Kosher grocery in Gateshead. They don't advertise, so most people don't know it's there.

Lidl do "seasonal squash", which change regularly, due, I'm assuming to whatever is in season. I have picked up spaghetti squash there.

It's an autumnal thing.
 
That’s good to know. I’ll keep an eye during season - thanks!
 
We've had a Polish shop here for years due to the load of them that are here, cant say I've ever ventured in though as they make you feel far too uncomfortable x
 
I'm hungry
