Roasted spaghetti squash 'noodles' topped with goat cheese and sauteed asparagus - a hearty pasta alternative.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (2 1/2 pound) spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • cooking spray
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 0.25 Spanish onion, diced
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 ounces goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) while lining a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  • Coat spaghetti squash with a light mist of cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then, lay the squash halves, cut-side down, on the baking sheet.
  • Bake in a preheated oven until tender, approximately 35 minutes, then allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, saute onion in olive oil until slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Add asparagus and continue cooking until onion is tender, another 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the flavorful mixture to a plate.
  • Heat skillet and saute spaghetti squash 'noodles' for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  • Simmer spaghetti squash in vegetable broth until reduced, about 2 minutes. Melt goat cheese and stir in onion mixture until combined, about 1 minute. Add basil, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
