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
1

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.

3

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.
