It was just too tough and I was afraid I would break my favorite gadget. The next time I used my food processor with the grate disc and then pulsed the strands as you suggested for making them rice sized bits. Results were not quite as beautiful as with the Paderno squash strands but that’s what I’m going to do with butternut squash just as a precaution. Love, love, love your recipes. Helps my family enjoy the pros of more veggies and avoid the cons of rice and pasta.

Thank you so much for your reply.. will certainly give that a try… how long do you leave it in the oven? and have you already peeled it and cut it into the pieces for spiralizing? Thanks. M.

I also have a lot of trouble spiralizing butternut squash raw. I usually leave it in the oven for a few minutes when it’s preheating and that makes it work like a charm! (I don’t have a microwave and I’m always using the oven anyway, which is why I go that route, but I’m sure the microwave would work too – just be careful you don’t leave it in too long so that the squash starts cooking!)

“Pilaf” doesn’t have a dressing or sauce. This sounds flavorful as is. If it is too dry for you my guess is you could thicken a little chicken broth in the sauté onion step. Or better yet have some broth ready to thicken with arrowroot or cornstarch just in case you don’t like the moistness of the dish when it is finished. Hope you try it though.

Would microwaving it a bit first, make it softer? do you think that would work?

I added some cooked sweet Italian sausage, and used precooked lentils from trader joes! I also used pecans instead of walnuts. I will definitely make this again. Thanks so much!

I’m afraid I”ll break the handle. It seems super stiff with a lot of tension.
Any suggestions?
