Well winter is just around the corner and here comes squash season! This was my first attempt at making spaghetti squash, (shocking I know, lol) and it was actually quite fun, something about how it magically becomes spaghetti like when you scrape it with a fork, it was amazing ;) I know a lot of people make spaghetti squash with a red sauce, or they like they're squash with butter and brown sugar for a sweeter dish, but I wasn't quite in the mood for that, so I just whipped up this easy to make creamy sauce to go with it and it was delicious, hope you like it!
1 medium sized spaghetti squash:
-
This can be roasted whole for easier cutting: Set your oven to 375 degrees and while it's preheating wash your squash ;) and dry it. Poke it a few times with a fork or knife, place it on a baking sheet and bake for about an hour, let it cool for handling, then cut it in half and scrape out the seeds, and the fun part is just using a fork to rake out the squash and it will automatically make it's own noodles like magic.
-To cut before cooking: Set your oven to 375 degrees and while it's preheating wash your squash ;) and dry it. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and roast it in a roasting pan or glass dish with the cut sides down and add about 1/2 inch of water to the pan, cover with foil or lid and bake for 45 mins- 1 hr.
*Spaghetti squash will still have a slight crunchy texture when done.
Vegan Alfredo Sauce:
1 cup unsweetened soy milk (or other unsweetened milk alt)
1 1/2 Tbs flour
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
S&P to taste
*optional- any additional seasonings of your liking, or add some
vegan cream cheese/sour cream.
-In a small sauce pan whisk your flour into the soy milk, add the rest of the seasonings then heat on med/high until it thickens. The sauce will also thicken more as it cools.
-Top your spaghetti squash or regular pasta with the sauce and devour. Peas, broccoli, or mushrooms are also a good addition, yummy!
