Spaghetti Squash with Strong Sauce

Properly Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Strong Sauce

Let’s face it, this recipe is more about spaghetti squash than it is about the sauce. A properly roasted squash is a thing a beauty, soft but not mushy.  Slightly sweet and savory, not bitter and burnt. Squash is surprisingly easy to prepare and this method can be used with many other types of squash. 

The combination of Strong Sauce with spaghetti squash makes for an amazingly nutritious and satisfying meal. I love this dish as it offers nutrients that GF pastas don’t have. 

Ingredients:

• 2 spaghetti squash
• 1 jar of Strong Sauce
• Pecorino Romano, to taste
• 2 to 3 tablespoons of avocado or similar type cooking oil

Method:

• Place the squash open / cut side down on a baking sheet
• Place in the oven and add 2 cups of water to the baking sheet

• Remove from oven and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
