FREEZING SPAGHETTI SQUASH

    Spaghetti  squash freezes very well,  and is handled  a

bit
differently from other winter squashes.   Wash,  slit in

half
lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.   Place squash, cut

side
 up,  in shallow baking pans and bake  at  375  degrees

Fahrenheit
 for  30 minutes.  Remove  from the oven and cool

until
 the squash  can  be  easily  handled.   Pull  a  fork

lengthwise
 through  the  flesh  to  separate  it  into long

stands.
  Pack  into  freezer  bags, seal, label and freeze.

To
 reheat  frozen  squash,  partially   thaw,   then steam,

stirring
 occasionally  until  tender but still  firm, eight

to
fifteen minutes.
