Preparation method

Ingredients overview

  • 2 pcs Spaghetti Squash
  • 200 g Crème fraîche
  • 4 pcs Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 pinch Pink Peppercorns
  • 10 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 140 g Sun-Dried Tomatoes in Oil
  • 40 g Grated Parmesan
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 50 g Pine Nuts

Preparing the Squash

1

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius (grill function is best). Wash the squashes and halve them lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Brush the inside with 2 tbsp olive oil, season with salt, and add a pinch of nutmeg, some crushed pink peppercorns, and a whole sprig of rosemary to each half. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for approx. 45 - 50 minutes, depending on the size of the squashes.

Preparing the Pesto

2

Meanwhile, prepare the pesto. Blend the sun-dried tomatoes, 8 tbsp olive oil, Parmesan, garlic, and pine nuts until smooth. Some pine nuts can be left whole for decoration.

Finishing and Serving

3

You can tell if the squash is properly baked when you gently pull at the fibers with a fork and they look like spaghetti. Remove the rosemary and loosen all the flesh into strands. Add 50 g Crème fraîche to each portion and return to the oven for another 5 minutes. Then gently stir, add the prepared pesto, and serve.

Chef's tip

For an even more intense aroma, you can briefly toast the pine nuts in a dry pan until golden brown before blending.
