\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spaghetti Squash is extremely versatile as a side.\u00a0 One of the most common uses for Spaghetti Squash is with or without sauce as a substitute for pasta.\u00a0 Spaghetti squash contains many nutrients, including\u00a0folic acid,\u00a0potassium,\u00a0vitamin A, and\u00a0beta carotene. It is low in\u00a0calories, averaging 42 calories per 1-cup (155\u00a0grams) serving.\u00a0 When cooked, the flesh falls away from the fruit in ribbons or strands like spaghetti.\u00a0 It can be baked, boiled, steamed, microwaved, and of course you know I’m going to see about smoking\/grilling a Spaghetti Squash on my Traeger PTG with Pacific Pellet Gourmet BBQ Hickory<\/a> Wood Pellets.\u00a0 The PTG was just big enough to accommodate a small Spaghetti Squash and a Chicken Half!<\/p>\n

Marinaded a Foster Farms fresh Chicken Half with Mr Yoshida’s Traditional Teriyaki Marinade & Cooking Sauce for 5 hours in the refrigerator.\u00a0 Cut the small spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scraped out the seeds and pulp as you would with any squash or pumpkin.\u00a0 The seeds can be roasted, similar to pumpkin seeds but you’d probably need a few large squash to get enough seeds.<\/p>\n

Preheated my Auber PID modified PTG with Hickory<\/a> Gourmet BBQ Pellets to 350\u00baF.\u00a0 Due to the small cooking area of the portable wood pellet grill I prefer to use the Manual Mode when controlling the temperatures.\u00a0 For my unit and the existing ambient conditions I found that a 32% power setting gave me a stable 350\u00baF environment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Took 2 hours and 10 minutes at 350\u00baF to Hickory<\/a> smoke\/cook the spaghetti squash and 1 hour and 40 minutes for the thickest part of the chicken breast to reach and internal temperature<\/a> of 170\u00baF.\u00a0 The times are given for planning purposes only … always cook to the proper internal temperature<\/a>.\u00a0 170\u00baF at the breast should give you a reading of 180\u00baF+ at the leg and thigh.\u00a0 The dark chicken meat must be cooked to a higher temperature than the white breast meat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When the Spaghetti Squash is cooked to perfection it is easily shredded with a fork.\u00a0 Use the Spaghetti Squash as a side or a substitute for pasta.\u00a0 Throw in a smoked Chicken breast and a green salad … Doesn’t get any better than this!!<\/p>\n
