Ingredients

4 servings

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups fresh basil
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • ½ cup vegetarian parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup pine nuts
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 lb mushroom, sliced
  • 1 cup asparagus, cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
  • With a sharp knife, slice the squash in half. If the squash is too tough, puncture in several places forming a dotted line around the squash. Microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften. Allow to cool before cutting in half.
  • Scoop out the seeds, brush with oil, and sprinkle with salt, and pepper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the skin.
  • Meanwhile, in a blender combine basil, olive oil, vegetarian Parmesan cheese, garlic, pine nuts, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a pan add the olive oil and garlic over medium-high heat, sautè 30 seconds-1 minute, add in mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Add asparagus and stir until cooked.
  • Remove squash from the oven, with a fork pull at the edges to produce that stringy “spaghetti” quality until you’ve completed both of them.
  • In the mushroom and asparagus pan combine “spaghetti” and pesto and mix. Return to the squash and serve with or without plates. Garnish with parmesan.
  • Enjoy!
