Vegan Mofo Day 3: Spaghetti Squash and Dinner Rolls

Spaghetti Squach Grandma's Hurry Up Rolls
Spaghetti Squash is a really neat thing! Basically we made a simple sauce with tomato based sauce (and we threw in some broccoli.) We used the squash in place of the pasta. It makes a good side, or a nice light meal. We tried something a little new to us this week and picked up a Stripetti spaghetti squash, which is a hybrid of a traditional spaghetti squash and and delicata squash. (I guessed as much from the stripey appearance & the delicatas nearby at the market) but this ehow page was handy in confirming that. Turns out there are 3 other spaghetti squashes I would love to try.

Also pictured are Granny's Hurry Up Dinner Rolls (link to the recipe from vegweb) Which turned out really well. They have a just bit of sugar in them, but otherwise tasted a lot like rolls my Mom typically makes at thanksgiving, but vegan.

Above is what the squash & its innards actually looked like, simply cut it in two, baked it, & then remove the innards. When we've had traditional spaghetti squash in the past. That variety seemed to produce longer, more linguine like strands. But both of these taste pretty great and are perfect if you're looking for a lighter alternative to pasta.

I love spaghetti squash, I've never found it in the UK but I really need to have a better look because it's SO good. Your dinner rolls look great too.

After looking at all the varieties there are I am curious where you're most likely to find each time. I hope you have luck finding some near you!

Spaghetti Squash is so versatile and very easy to grow at home. Love it!
