Preparation method
Ingredients overview
- 2 pcs spaghetti squash
- 200 g crème fraîche
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch pink peppercorns
- 80 ml extra virgin olive oil (for squash and pesto)
- 1 pinch fine iodized table salt
- 140 g sun-dried tomatoes in oil jar
- 40 g grated Parmesan sachet
- 1 garlic clove
- 50 g pine nuts sachet
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius, ideally using the grill function. Wash the squashes and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Grease the inside with some olive oil, season with salt, a pinch of nutmeg, a few crushed pink peppercorns, and a sprig of rosemary on each half. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 45-50 minutes, depending on the size of the squash.
Meanwhile, prepare the pesto. Place the sun-dried tomatoes, the remaining olive oil (approx. 50 ml), grated Parmesan, garlic, and pine nuts in a blender and blend until smooth. You can keep a few whole pine nuts for garnish.
Check if the squash is ready by gently scraping the internal fibers with a fork; they should separate into spaghetti-like strands. Remove the rosemary and shred all the inside with the fork. Place 50 g of crème fraîche on each half and bake for another 5 minutes. Finally, mix gently, add the prepared pesto, and serve immediately.
Chef's tip
For extra flavor, you can toast the pine nuts in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before adding them to the pesto.
