Never realized how smart of a vegetable squashes are. If you go through the effort of cutting it open and baking it, not only do you get the tasty insides. It even comes with a built in bowl to eat from.
Fun fact. Squash contain the seeds of the squash plant, thus making it a fruit. Other vegetables that are actually fruits include Peppers, eggplant, tomato, squash, pumpkin, cucumber, zucchini, and others
@@zcarp8642 Technically true, but do note that this is comparing the botanical classification of fruit to the culinary classification of vegetable. In culinary terms, fruits must have a sweet or tart flavor.
On a serious note, if you salt the squash after opening it, and then let it rest face down on a towel for a half hour, you'll extract a lot of moisture. This is an optional step if you have extra time, but reducing the amount of water in the squash means you can be more liberal with fillings without making the whole thing super mushy. Spaghetti squash doesn't *have* to be mushy.
Much like how one of the first electronic musical instruments was designed to sound just like the SAW, and named after the sound a user makes after successfully using one: "There I'm in!" It was later shortened to the more conventional "theramin" in early print ads.
I'm pretty sure it's the middle-English "Wango" which means "Wangjangling". Squash Access Wangjangling. However, this was taken from the French who used sub-Latin at the time, so instead of spelling SAW it spelled GUILLOTAINE, which is just a snobby way to pronounce guillotine.
If you don't have a saw or yours was confiscated by the local authorities for... reasons. You can heat up the squash in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes, depending on the size. Just enough to soften it up and make cutting much easier. Also oven mitts, it will be a hot squatatoe.
I thought to myself "wait, when exactly do you put in the spaghetti" and "surely he's messing with me" before I looked it up and it turned out spaghetti squash is a real thing.
OK, I thought you were kidding about cutting it open being the hardest thing I'll do in the next 6 months (I certainly hope so!) & also thought that you were kidding about using a saw.... I will never question your instructions again! I used a mallet to pound my sharpest knife into the squash, which then became stuck. Managed to get it out by tapping with the mallet, but I broke the end of the squash. Cooked it up as instructed after all that, and THAT WAS A DARN GOOD SQUASH! Will try again, using a saw, as this recipe is worth a repeat! You are so awesome! Thank you!
Squash gut cereal is my favorite! Honestly though, saw this on my homepage and it made my day -- been on an egg crime binge of the early days and YSAC never fails to be brilliant 😊Thanks for creating these hilarious masterpieces.
My family has been trying to perfect this recipe for generations. My great-grandparents bred tomatoes to perfection. My mother has been aging cheese since she could walk. My great-uncle sailed the world to find olives (he doesn’t trust maps). One day, I hope to find a squash so we can actually cook something.
I was watching you a million years ago, I was stupid and just didnt subscribe, I have missed you, and now since Im back on youtube, Im glad to hear you spangjangle some recipes
This is brilliant. I never buy spaghetti squash because I never know what to do with it, but I love that baked feta and tomato pasta that made the rounds a few years ago and this is pretty much just a squash version.
Cooked right it’s a perfect substitute for angel hair past imo, with a better flavor. I’ve done regular bolognese spaghetti, Alfredo, and “buttered” noodles this way it’s so good.
The trouble this man goes through just to teach lesser humans how to cook is astounding..... Not including all the extra props he has to buy like the spaghetti, ravioli, Spaghetti-Os and alphabets. Not to mention the ghost.... Those things are super expensive, IF you can find one and convince it to be in your video. 😊❤
Im always amazed at how hes always able to cut the squashes right at the line of liquid. I always cut too low and get the red sauce inside the squash to pour out
I think you are the funniest thing on the Internet! Found you when you were milking a zucchini, omg, what!? Dude, you are hysterical, literally my favorite go to on UA-cam, or shoot, in the universe. Crazy best part; you can cook. I promise, I won't tell. You the man! (My guy is threatened by you and is stepping up his game, btw. So thanks! 😂)
@@WadeAlma I've lived for over 30 years and I still have all my finger intact, based on those stats, I'll be more than okay if I live on the wild side and lose a finger, statistically it should be another 30 before I'm down to 8 which should still be entirely workable.
@@davidgood840I haven't tried that yet. I did make scalloped potatoes with red sauce once. Was using one of those slicy gizmos without the hand guard.
@StatusQuonald, when this kind of squash is cooked, you can just run a fork along the length of the squash half to create the "spaghetti". It's nice just salted and peppered and baked upside down in a tray with a bit of water in it at the same temp. Not so sure about the length of time but an hour should be fine.
So that's what LUSTAS stood for. My grandma always had a can in the pantry and never saw it get used for anything. Turned out she only got it because my grandpa had a random craving for this exact recipe once when they first met and then just forgot about it.
After some research I found out that some people somewhere name their pumpkin like a racket-and-ball sport. The Spaghetti part though was never a secret to me. As stated, just don't let the pasta overripe inside the squash, for it gets fluffy very fast.
Okay, so, we don't really have this type of squash here (Catalonia) and i'd never heard about them so I was really confused the whole video, didn't understand the jokes and was baffled at 2:45 :O
For people that might be thrown off by his use of his magic powers and genetically modified bizzarro foods, the spaghetti squash that you can likely find in most produce sections of average grocery stores in autumn does in fact turn into strands that resemble spaghetti when cooked. IT IS WEIRD THAT THIS IS A REAL THING
"It's autumn, the sun has begun to forsake us, the trees are littering everywhere. It's time to make some squash" is one of the hardest lines i've ever heard
Tip to suck less at cooking: To open the squash, stab it firmly all the way and then run the knife down to the cutting board. Then put the knife in the cut and do the same thing to cut the other half.
Never realized how smart of a vegetable squashes are. If you go through the effort of cutting it open and baking it, not only do you get the tasty insides. It even comes with a built in bowl to eat from.

WAH!
@@zcarp8642 Knowledge, is knowing the tomato is a fruit. Wisdom, is not putting it in a fruit salad.
@@zcarp8642 Technically true, but do note that this is comparing the botanical classification of fruit to the culinary classification of vegetable. In culinary terms, fruits must have a sweet or tart flavor.
@@Rosskles Jalapenos and other chilies are also fruit, so salsa is a fruit salad with tomatoes in it.

Spaghetti squash doesn't *have* to be mushy.
We don't come here for serious.
(Also, thanks for the good tip!)
i love this idea!, can i still cut it open with a saw? (optional)
I bought a spaghetti squash, grape tomatoes, and a (less stupid) amount of feta. Going to use this tip - thanks for saving me from squishy squashy.
@@jordanarnold6783tbh some of his recepiez are pretty good if you can follow It through the comedy
This works well for eggplant too!
Many don't know that the word 'saw' is actually an acronym for "Squash Access Wrangling", and is why the tool is named such.
YSAC... is... is that you?
hahah

I tried this recipe, but used 400C instead of 400F, and now I have feta-flavoured coking coal. It was still yummy, though.
You're just ready to make coal fired pizza squash.
Always remember C is the fast cooking setting
@@nocturnhabeounless you're below negative forty-two, then it's actually faster to use f
It cleanses the soul
what kind of oven do you have that goes up to 400C???
You were quite lucky to find a deciduous squash in a coniferous forest!
Why not just check a squash court? Sometimes I wonder about YSAC, but the weed makes me forget about it
The squash gut cereal is the best part for it allows you to eat while preparing something to eat

@scrollcaps, you know those little pointy saw blades that you get in pumpkin carving kits? They are great for cutting up squashes in general.
@@fredericapanon207oh, why didn't I think of that?! Great idea!
I thought to myself "wait, when exactly do you put in the spaghetti" and "surely he's messing with me" before I looked it up and it turned out spaghetti squash is a real thing.
Real thing, really delicious. And healthy too!
The spaghetti squash is such a strange real food that it genuinely sounds like a YSAC bit
@@timj6121it does!
@@timj6121 yup. also gaslighting isnt real silly
@@timj6121yes, actually spaghetti squash does work that way.
love these efficient one squash recipes. saves me from having to wash two or three squashes afterwards.

As long as you don't try opening a coconut without spilling the coconut water all over the place.... So far I am 0 for 2 tries on that.
my guy cooked spaghetti, ravioli, mac and cheese, and spaghetti o's for a few seconds of hilarious, mad respect.
More like opened some freshly picked cans of Chef Boyardee from his garden . :)
Honestly excited to try this, it looks delicious. Really sad I'm already up to 13 days before the first frost.
Squash gut cereal is my favorite!

I've always been told to cook it cut side doen in some water. Nice to see it works this way too. Sometimes you can buy one already cut open

My guy hasn't changed since the beginning with those bangers he drops randomly 👌🔥🔥
"Which we do not just because of how it tastes, but also because of the flavor."
Good to know.
This was actually a really good recipe and I agree the hard part is cutting it open.
@infallibleblue, get those pumpkin carving kits while you can. The pointy little saw blades are great for cutting squashes.
Cooked this for dinner tonight. Delicious! Very strong flavor, and the balsamic glaze makes a big difference!
Showed this recipe to my parents. They laughed and enjoyed the video, and we ended up making it. 10/10
The gasp when the tomato moved 😂😂😂😂😂
Good to see you back to form! Cooking in my life was getting too normal!
0:35 the thumb placement beneath the knife made me panic
Ummm I accidentally found this channel and I love it
Where I live, there is no Fall. Just 9 months of summer and 3 months of winter. I gotta go further north, i miss the cool months so much.
This is the inner monolog in my head when I cook
You make me happy.
You can also use GPS to find Squash nest before winter. Very Effective. But be careful they're very Aggressive before hibernation.
😍That was a great video!!!!!
You cutting the squash with your thumb in the knife's path is worrisome. Don't injure yourself!
Ignore this guy. Live on the wild side. Cut with all your fingers in the way.
OMG I almost had a mini-heart attack when I saw that
Same !! One slip and it's spaghetti squash with red sauce .

If we rebrand that adhesive as Larry's Ultra Strong Tomato Adhesive Squash Spray,
We can use the Acronym LUST ASS in our advertising campaign.

Deep. Nothing like a squash to restore my faith in autumn
No song at the end.... this isn't him guys, it's an impasta
i was going to eat a spaghetti squash...but then i thought...nah, i butternut

I thought it was LUSSTAS
I imagine chicken and bacon would fit perfectly with that flavor profile.
Ah yes, my monthly dose of food I didn’t now I wanted to eat so badly
Instructions unclear. My squash ran away with fear after seeing my yellow belt.
I watch your videos high. The rush is amazing.
Omg made it and its so good😭❤️added dried basil and parmesan. Now I wanna try it with some bell peppers
"we add this much garlic not only because of how it tastes but also because of the flavour" 😂😂
Yaaaay, classic Ysac style, sooooo good.
It fills my need for absurdity up.🎉❤
I don't usually like feta, but this looks good enough to try anyway!
I prefer goat cheese - less salty - but I think this recipe could still work quite well with the feta. Putting it on the Try Real Soon List.
@@tanikokishimoto1604 I agree, goat's cheese is better than feta. Feta usually tastes bitter to me, which is why I don't like it.
These videos are just the best
Ya crackin' me up brother!
After some research I found out that some people somewhere name their pumpkin like a racket-and-ball sport.
The Spaghetti part though was never a secret to me.
As stated, just don't let the pasta overripe inside the squash, for it gets fluffy very fast.
creative as always 😊
"decidious squash"
digs a pine needle
Great to see you in the feed again 👍
= mmmmmmm🖤
I love when math includes garlic !
same. garlic is my favorite number.
See you next week!
Okay, so, we don't really have this type of squash here (Catalonia) and i'd never heard about them so I was really confused the whole video, didn't understand the jokes and was baffled at 2:45 :O
I WILL be here next week for that alphagetti cantaloupe cuz it sounds like a banger!!! dont let me down.
1:22 also don't forget that when it decides to open because it is so scared it also just deletes the insides
Man anyone Elise get nostalgic when the Ysac Autumn-music hits in the beginning?
This is the perfect season to get your knife possessed, so you can start trying autochop now
@2:58
You just can't argue with that kind of math, and I defy anyone to try (and show your work!)

Protect this man at all cost
The first bit about the sun forsaking us and the trees littering is beautiful. Really.
I LOVE THIS SHOW
You have quite the magical skills with food
The dedication to buy an entire cantaloupe just for that one gag.
"It's autumn, the sun has begun to forsake us, the trees are littering everywhere. It's time to make some squash" is one of the hardest lines i've ever heard
I was not ready for alphageti cantaloupe
Hey king! Love your videos! I was wondering if you could make one on penne / baked penne in the future?
Alphaghetti Cantaloupe was the name of our college band in my third favourite alternate timeline. We haven't met in this one.
Tip to suck less at cooking:
To open the squash, stab it firmly all the way and then run the knife down to the cutting board. Then put the knife in the cut and do the same thing to cut the other half.
You beat Rick and Morty to the spaghetti punch. You're a funny guy. Love you 🤟
Yes. I needed this.
Perfect tutorial. ❤
Wait, an actual recipe that I now want to make, badass
Thank you
Instructions unclear; now have tomato domes haunting my oven.
"Fill that spahgetti hole with a thick block of fetta" 💀💀
I can never hear the word "ravioli" without asking "what is in the pocketoli". Shout out to Papa Franku.
A fruit called “squash” that’s so tough, you need a saw to cut it open. That, ladies & gentlemen, is irony.
i couldn't find a spaghetti squash, can i use a fettuccine potato instead?
His dry humor is nothing short of astounding.
i have minecraft running because of my xp farm and a cave noise happened as he opened the squasharoni
Friendly reminder to close the loose ends on Pimblokto
I want more Egg Files...for a moment I forgot myself and posted a thing on the internet.
I don't object to that amount of garlic, I object to the amount of feta. I don't like my food to taste like feet
The ysac theme is back
Pinblockto + turtle candy making = offensive hilarity ------> [pretty please]

If that's how a Squash reacts to a yellow belt then I don't think I want to know what happens when it sees a black belt.
