Ingredients

For the Spaghetti Squash:

For the Romesco Sauce:

  • 1 15 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews
  • 1 12 oz jar roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast optional - but highly recommend!
  • Dash of sea salt and ground black pepper

To Serve:

Instructions

Make the Squash

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Rub olive oil on the inside of the spaghetti squash and lay cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until fork tender. Set aside.

Make the Romesco Sauce

  • Meanwhile, add the tomatoes, cashews, red pepper, garlic, onion, thyme, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper to a high powered blender and puree until smooth.
  • Add the olive oil to a large non-stick skillet and add the sausage. Cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a dish and set aside.
  • Scrape out the inside of the spaghetti squash and add the to skillet. Cover in romesco sauce (I used about 1 1/2 cups). Stir in the spinach. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until spinach has wilted.
  • To serve, plate the squash and top with sausage. Sprinkle with vegan parmesan (if desired).
