Recipes for Winter Squash You can extend the fall harvest for one month at least with winter squash. One exception is the spaghetti squash which, after baking, can be scooped out of its shell and topped with spaghetti sauce. Mashed or pureed squash can be added to soups or baked in breads, muffins, cookies or pancakes to add color, moisture and sweetness.
Peeling is necessary and is usually easier after cooking.
Remember to bake the seeds too, and try squashes other than pumpkin in pies. One pound trimmed squash equals 2 cups cooked squash. In 1996, more than 2500 farmers' markets existed in the US, serving almost 1 million customers per week. Add coconut milk, lemongrass, fish sauce, and sugar. Puree and strain through a fine mesh strainer.
