Thai Curry Spaghetti Squash
Posted by Aggies Kitchen on June 29th, 2009. Filed under: Asian, Main Dishes - Beef, Thai.
really hit the spot with me. I love the spice and creaminess of curry…and love even more the health benefits of spaghetti squash. I couldn’t wait to make it.
The beauty of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter is the amount of access you have to other people all at once. I posted my need for a Thai Curry recipe and my blogging buddy Ninette from Big Bold Beautiful Food gave me a simple recipe to follow. I luckily had everything I needed on hand. In case you haven’t been over to her blog, you really should. She has an amazing talent of making everything she makes look mouthwatering. She’s always cooking different types of food and you will most definitely leave her site feeling hungry
So using some leftover London Broil and vegetables I had in the fridge, I whipped up a delicious coconut curry sauce and served it with spaghetti squash. Craving satisfied.
I can’t wait to make this again!! Thank you Ninette!!

Very yum! I always have my spaghetti sauce kind of plain and boring with red sauce- I love this idea of mixing it up. Very cool article!!! Hope you enjoyed the weekend

I'm putting this on the list to make this week. What would be a good substitute for fish sauce, since I'm allergic. Chicken broth?

Barbara,
I've read on this before and seen chicken stock or soy sauce as a good substitute for fish sauce. I think you need something that is a little salty. Let me know how it turns out!
If anyone knows a good sub for fish sauce please post! Thx!

What a tasty way to use spaghetti squash! I am always looking for ways to use this yummy and healthy veggie!

I have the same pair of tongs as you! Haha. This looks very interesting, something I wouldn't ordinarily try but I might just have to now
Social networking sites have their problems but I love being able to communicate with people you usually never would have the opportunity to!

Looks fantastic. I'm not a big Indian curry fan, but I've enjoyed some Thai ones. I think it's the coconut milk.

It's a great sub for anyone who wants to avoid pasta. We haven't tried it yet, but it's great to read so many different recipes using spaghetti squash.

I love this idea! I love Thai food and this is a terrific use for the squash. Nice!

I love the spice and creaminess of curry…
Amen sista.
You just knew I was going to jump on this one. And to do it with spaghetti squash? Novel and tasty, I'm sure.
I visited Ninette's blog just now and it's lovely. I dig that about Facebook too – just feeling more connected to some of my food blog friends (like you!), especially if we go days without posting or commenting on blogs. I still get to talk to them and in a much more personal way to boot.

This sounds so good! I love the addition of coconut milk!

This looks so good. I love spaghetti squash and the fact that you can still get it this time of year. I love red curry paste too. One of my favorites!

OMG! I'm actually drooling. My husband was rubbing my shoulders why we were drooling over food pron and this was the recipe that made both of us thing about running out for Thai food. (of course, it's 10pm and it is an hour to the closest restaurant.) Thank you Aggie. Hope you have a great fourth!

Hey Aggie, thanks for the shout out! I'm glad I could help. Soy sauce is the best substitute for fish sauce.

Spaghetti squash is a favorite of mine and I haven't made it in quite a while, Sounds great with curry!
July 10th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
That looks so good! I can't wait to make it! Thank you!

I made this last night, and it was a major success! I substituted the squash and zucchini for eggplant and delicata squash, since that’s what was in my cupboards, but you really can’t go wrong with thai curry! Next time I think I’ll add jalapenos or chilies to add a little extra spice, but it was still delicious! Thanks for a great spaghetti squash idea that I never would have thought of myself!
