| Splash of [[black rice vinegar]]
| Splash of [[Nam pla|nam pla]]
| 1 small [[Onion|onion]], peeled and chopped.
| 1 tablespoon of [[Butter|butter]]
| 2 tablespoons of plain [[Flour|flour]]

| 1 [[Spaghetti squash]]
| Sliced [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] and chopped [[Parsley|parsley]] to garnish.
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| I always like to rinse [[Seafood|seafood]] after it's been in a sealed box for a while, however, it's up to you.
| Place them in a bowl with a splash of [[Nam pla|nam pla]] and a splash of [[Black rice vinegar|black rice vinegar]]
| Wash the outside of the [[Squash|squash]] well, cut in half length wise, de-seed and place in a large pan.
| Cover with [[Boiling|boiling]] water and [[Simmer|simmer]] vigorously for 30 minutes.
| Meanwhile, gently [[Fry|fry]] the [[Onion|onion]] in the [[Butter|butter]] for 4 minutes.
| Add the [[Flour|flour]] and mix well.
| Gradually pour in all of the [[Milk|milk]]. Keep stirring the milk until it thickens.
| Season with [[Salt|salt]] an [[Black pepper|pepper]], a splash of Louisiana [[Hot pepper|hot pepper]] [[Sauce|sauce]], the crumbled [[Chili|chili]], [[salt]] and [[Black pepper|pepper]].
| Reduce the heat and [[Simmer|simmer]] slowly for 5 minutes, stirring often.
| Drain the [[Crayfish|crayfish]] tails and tip them into the [[Cheese|cheese]] and [[Chili|chili]] [[Sauce|sauce]].
| Drain the [[Spaghetti|spaghetti]] [[Squash|squash]] halves and 'rough up the strands with a fork, leaving then in the squash.
| Pour the [[Cheese|cheese]], [[Chili|chili]] and [[Crayfish|crayfish]] [[Sauce|sauce]] into the [[Squash|squash]] halves.
}}
===Serving suggestions===

Serve hot, garnished with [[parsley]] and sliced [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]].

===Chef's note===

Be wary of making the cheese sauce too runny because even when well drained, the [[spaghetti squash]] holds an awful lot of water.
