Steps:
- SPAGHETTI SQUASH: Cook your spaghetti squash using our oven method or Instant Pot method. Once slightly cooled, fluff with a fork to make it stringy. Then measure out roughly 4 cups spaghetti squash (as the original recipe is written // alter as needed if adjusting serving size) and set aside.
- SAUCE: In the meantime, prepare sauce by soaking raw cashews in very hot water for ~15 minutes.
- After the 15 minutes are up, drain and rinse cashews and add to a small blender. Add remaining sauce ingredients (garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and almond milk) and blend until creamy and smooth. The sauce should be thin and pourable (add more water as needed).
- Taste and adjust flavors as needed, adding more nutritional yeast for cheesiness, salt to taste, or garlic for zing. Set aside. NOTE: At this time, you could also blend in a handful of fresh basil for added flavor and gorgeous green color.
- PASTA: Heat a large pan over medium heat (non-stick* or cast iron are best as stainless steel can be sticky). Add a bit of water (or oil) to the pan and then add your spaghetti squash.
- Season with a healthy pinch of salt, Italian herbs, garlic powder, and red pepper flake (optional). And use a spatula or tongs to toss. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the squash is slightly browned and very hot.
- Add the sauce and stir / toss to coat the squash. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened.
- Serve immediately as is, or garnish with fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil), vegan parmesan cheese, or red pepper flake (all optional). Add a few of our Best Vegan Meatballs to make this dish even heartier!
- STORAGE: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days (reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot, adding a little dairy-free milk if it appears dry). Not freezer friendly.

LOW-CARB SPAGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO
Spaghetti squash replaces the traditional fettuccine, making this a low-carb dish. A mortar and pestle can be used to cream the roasted garlic, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pierce the spaghetti squash shells several times with a fork. Brush 1 teaspoon olive oil evenly over the cut sides of the squash and season with salt. Place spaghetti squash, cut sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
- Use a sharp knife to cut 1/4 inch from the top of the garlic. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Wrap in a double layer of foil and place on the baking sheet with the squash.
- Roast in the preheated oven until squash shreds easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.
- Start the sauce after the squash and garlic have been roasting for 20 minutes. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour in cream and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, whisking quickly until smooth. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Remove the squash and garlic from the oven. Pull squash into spaghetti strands with a fork.
- Allow the garlic to cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves into a small dish. Use a fork to mash the pulp into a smooth consistency. Add to the cheese sauce; stir well.
- Divide Alfredo sauce evenly between the squash, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH PALEO MEAT SAUCE
I made some spaghetti and it turned out so good and super filling. One batch could last you the entire week! Chicken or turkey can be substituted for the ground beef. Try adding Italian herbs, like parsley, oregano, and fennel.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Pour water into a baking dish. Place squash halves with cut sides down in baking dish; roast for until tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
- While squash is baking, cook and stir ground beef and onions in a skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Set beef aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms, zucchini, green and red bell peppers, both amounts of crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano and thyme. Simmer over medium heat until vegetables are cooked through and tender, about 10 minutes. Add the ground beef and onions; stir to combine. Simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, while you finish preparing spaghetti squash.
- Scrape the inside of hot spaghetti squash halves with a fork to shred the squash into strands; divide onto 8 plates. Drizzle each serving of spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and top each serving with a generous amount of meat sauce.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO
Steps:
- Slice spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and clean as you would a pumpkin. Completely submerge 1 half at a time, in a large pot of boiling water and cook for about 20 minutes until the inside is just tender to a fork and pulls apart in strands. (Cook's Note: It is better to undercook if you're not sure.) Remove, drain and cool with cold water or ice bath to stop the cooking.
- Scoop out the cooked squash from its skin with a spoon as you would an avocado and discard the skin. Use a fork to fluff and separate the squash into "spaghetti"- like strands. You can also use your hands. Reserve the separated cooked squash and dip with a strainer into boiling water to reheat just before serving.
- Melt half the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cream and reduce for about 2 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in the rest of the butter and parsley. Place spaghetti squash in a large serving bowl, and pour Alfredo sauce over squash. Garnish with basil and tomatoes. Serve and enjoy!
SPAGHETTI SQUASH (PALEO-FRIENDLY) ALFREDO SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Puncture several holes throughout the spaghetti squash to allow the steam to escape. Place the spaghetti squash on a baking dish and put in the oven for 1 hour. When the squash is done, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting it open. The inside will be very steamy and hot, but will cut very easily! While the spaghetti squash is finishing its cooking time and cooling a bit, make your sauce. SAUCE: Heat the oil in a skillet. Saute garlic and when garlic starts to brown, add the shrimp. Saute until shrimp is nicely pink and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside. Whisk arrowroot and chicken broth together, and add to skillet. Cook on medium heat until it starts to thicken. Slowly add coconut milk along with remaining herbs and spices. Add the shrimp back to the skillet. Finish with a pinch of sea salt if desired.

- Chop the cauliflower in florets and steam for 6-8 minutes. You can also boil the florets, but adjust the bone broth later in the recipe because the cauliflower may become waterlogged.
- You can either use the shell of the squash as a bowl or scoop spaghetti squash ribbons into bowls.
