I've made tots using broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus, so I thought, "Why not spaghetti squash?" Thus, this recipe for air fryer spaghetti squash tots was created.
Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash , 3 pound
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.13 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 cups panko bread crumbs
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- nonstick cooking spray

Make a dotted line lengthwise around entire squash using a sharp knife; place whole squash in the microwave. Microwave on full power for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; cut squash in half along dotted line. Wrap a squash half in plastic wrap; refrigerate for another use.

Scoop pulp and seeds from remaining squash half; discard. Brush olive oil all over squash flesh; sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Gnocchi alla Sorrentina
A classic Italian "primo", or starter pasta, from the Campania region of Italy. Fresh tomatoes are sauteed with onion, garlic, and basil, then tossed with fresh mozzarella, basil, and your favorite gnocchi or short pasta. In the summer, we skip the oven part of this recipe and just eat it after being tossed in the saute pan.
Eggnog Poke Cake
A rum and nutmeg spiced cake is the base for an eggnog sauce and eggnog whipped cream. Homemade eggnog and fresh nutmeg are highly recommended to give this the best flavor. Make sure to use a high-sided cake pan, as this cake rises a lot while baking!
