NOTES : This easy saute can be done in a nonstick skillet. To cook the squash,

use the microwave oven, or boil or steam it stove top until just soft. Cut the

cooked squash in half, remove the seeds and lift out the strands or scrape them

out with a fork, leaving the hard outer shell. Curry powders vary in flavor and

intensity. Definitely taste the cooked dish and adjust the seasoning according

to your taste. Serve the dish with rice and a big salad for a vegetarian meal,

or use the saute as a side dish with fish, meat or poultry. The dish tastes

terrific without the optional ingredients, though they do add depth to the dish.
