SPAGHETTI SQUASH-TA

INGREDIENTS 

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 3 tbsp of original date spread
  • Spinach or kale
  • Chicken, fish, beef, or tofu
  • Vegetable toppings like mushrooms, broccoli, eggplant, or zucchini
  • Onion powder
  • Garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast
  • Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and bake in an oven on a sheet pan for ~ 40 minutes
  2. As the squash cooks, heat the spinach and vegetables in a skillet and prepare your protein of choice. Include all of the seasonings as desired: onion powder, garlic, and salt.
  3. When the spaghetti squash is done cooking, strip out all of the seeds. 
  4. Separate the squash strands from the skin and throw out the skin.
  5. Add 3 tbsp of original date spread to the spaghetti squash and mix thoroughly
  6. Add 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast, mix thoroughly
  7. Add all of your seasoned vegetables and protein - you're done! The date spread really enhances the sweetness of the spaghetti squash. The nutritional yeast practically melts in it like cheese. 
  8. Optional: Add tomato sauce. If you are not dairy free then parmesan would be great!
