Spaghetti squash was one of my newer discoveries of 2019, so I’ve had at least a year to appreciate it.

But with so much time during quarantine, we’re able to have a bit more fun with it, adding all the best ingredients – like fresh mushrooms.

Here’s what we used to make our ‘Shroomy Spaghetti Squash:

• 1 spaghetti squash
• Lots of fresh white mushrooms
• 1/2 onion
• A handful of spinach
• Pesto or red sauce
• Garlic powder (& other spices)
• Cheese

& here’s how we made it:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Cut spaghetti squash in half, remove seeds, and place face down on aluminum foil-covered pan. Cook for ~25 minutes
3. When there’s ~10 minutes left for your spaghetti squash, begin roasting the mushrooms and onions on a pan over medium heat
4. Add garlic powder and any other spices you prefer
5. When mushrooms & onions begin browning, fold in spinach
6. Stir in red sauce and/or pesto & remove from heat
7. Remove spaghetti squash from pan & let cool sightly before scooping it out with a fork and placing in a bowl
8. Place your saucy mushroom mixture on top of the spaghetti squash and sprinkle on some cheese
9. Stir the mixture & spaghetti squash together and enjoy!

It may look a little messy (because it was – what pasta isn’t?), but what matters is that it was truly delicious!
