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.
