Creamed spaghetti Squash with spinach, garlic, onions, and topped with a nutritious nut free Butternut Squash “Cheez:” Sauce! A new comfort food staple!
Creamed Spaghetti squash is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, like vitamin C, B6, beta carotene, and fiber! I love making it for my family all throughout the winter to help boost our immune systems during cold and flu season. The Vegan Butternut “cheese” sauce makes this spaghetti squash next level.
What you need for this recipe:
- Organic spaghetti squash
- White onion
- Garlic
- Fresh spinach
- Butternut Squash “cheez” sauce
- Pumpkin seeds for garnish
This recipe is the perfect comfort food to serve all fall and winter long. Spaghetti squash is so versatile and a wonderful alternative to pasta but still gives you comfort that pasta does but even better with all the added nutrients and unwanted carbs!
A mistake I used to make was cooking the spaghetti squash way too long. It came out mushy, much like if you were to cook pasta too long. You don’t need any oil or salt to cook with, just be sure to lay open face down on parchment or a silicone baking mat.
Yes! You can freeze up to 6 months. Let the spaghetti squash thaw in room temperature and then warm on stovetop.
No, the spaghetti squash comes out like noodles once it is cooked. If you want a squash you can spiralize, try yellow summer squash!
