Recip, Spaghetti Squash con Fungi or with Mushrooms!!

Con Fungi or with mushrooms is a delicious way to use Spaghetti Squash as the pasta. Mushrooms are filled with micro and macro nutrients, they are unique that each type or variety have different properties of nutrients, flavor as well. For this application we will use Brown Crimini, Oyster and Shitake for simplicity, by all means don't feel limited, as I always say recipes are guidelines for you to create something with your own twist or character. OK, back to Spaghetti Squash Con Fungi.

Ingredients:

2 cups Cooked Spaghetti Squash (refer to precious post)
1/2 cup sliced Shitake Mushrooms
3/4 cup Sliced Oyster Mushrooms
1 cup quartered Brown Crimini Mushrooms
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp chopped garlic (more is better)
2 tbsp chopped shallots ( fine chop)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper ( will enhance flavors, will not make spicy hot)
1/4 cup fresh diced Tomato
2 tbsp chopped Italian Parsley

Heat a saute pan over med high heat, add Olive oil, reduce heat to med, add all mushrooms shallots, cayenne, S&P (to taste), allow mushrooms to cook for 2-4 mins or until they begin to brown a bit, add garlic and toss, add tomato and spaghetti squash, toss gently until the spaghetti squash and mushrooms adding parsley and a bit of fresh grated Parmesan Cheese, Serve immediately garnishing with a sprig of Italian Parsley.
There are many variations of herbs your could add to this basic recipe. If you don't mind adding a bit of fat and extreme flavor, add 2 tablespoons of crumpled Gorgonzola Cheese, this will give an awesome flavor with the mushrooms and make it a little creamy.
Another suggestion if you are not a fan of the mushroom is to simply toss the Spaghetti Squash with 1/2 cup of the Bruchetta I posted recently and garnish with fresh shave Parmesan and fresh Basil.
I can not stress enough to use these recipes as guidelines to create something you can call your own, cooking is meant to be fun so experiment you just might surprise yourself and others.
As well Spaghetti Squash is a great side dish or as the main fare, it goes great with chicken, fish, game meats and beef.
Well it is Sunday morning, looking as if it is going to be another great day!!  Enjoy.......
