Fall is here and that means... spaghetti squash! They were on sale at our local grocery store a few weeks back, so I decided to pick one up. I wasn't sure what we were going to do with it, but I figured Brian would make something delicious.
We roasted it in the oven and before I knew it, Brian was adding a splash of this and a splash of that to the sauce. It turned out great on the first try, so we knew we had to share the recipe. Best of all, it is vegan and oil-free. We hope you try it out!

Just made this tonight. Mistakenly put garbanzo beans thru blender. Then added little sauce for consistency. Tasted like tomato flavored garbanzo beans. After adding another can of the tomatoes and a little extra of each spice it was more tasty than expected. Served the spaghetti squash as boats and mixed in sauce once shredded. Nothing left but the peel and my fella even wants to take some to work tomorrow for lunch. This is very much a keeper and next time will try recipe PRECISELY....lol. Thanks!!!!!!

After making the sauce correctly, i would totally make it again. Tastes amazing and the aroma is off the charts. Wish my home always smelled sooooo fine.

@sensiblecrime7699 4 жыл бұрын

If you don't have a tube of tomato paste put the unused tomato paste from the can in a plastic bag. Flatten it out and freeze it. You can then easily break off the tomato paste you need for your next recipe. You can do the same thing with garlic or ginger in vegetable broth.

Looks great. FYI, the strands of the spaghetti squash run around the circumference of the squash. Cutting it lengthwise cuts all the strands in half. If you cut the squash in half the other way around the middle, your "spaghetti" noodles will be longer.

@patricialee6960 4 жыл бұрын

, I prefer to bake the squash from the beginning and cutting it AFTER it is cooked completely just as you would a baked potato. 425 or 450 45 min. or when you can put a fork into it easily. If it gets a little brown on the skin it tastes even better! I do it all the time this way. It works in less time and is less risky. There is steam inside without water. Try it for any squash.

I buy big jars of dried mushrooms at Costco and use them as a meat substitute (the mushrooms, not the jars!). After soaking a handful in hot water all day I drain them (save the liquid but strain it) and chop them super fine. They become the meat in my pasta sauces and lasagna.

Great recipe, guys. Reminds me to start with a starch and add vegis, as Dr. McDougall says... Beans are definitely vegetables. I might even through in a handful of chopped greens, like chopped kale. It looks so good. I'm going to remember the tomato paste in a tube idea. I don't use up the canned tomato paste fast enough when I open one, so good tip.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve not tried spaghetti squash since going WFPB (I only know the taste dowsed in cheese and butter), so it will be fun to really taste it! If you want to try a little variation on your recipe... I believe I learned this tomato sauce recipe from Chef AJ. Basically quarter several Roma tomatoes and spread on baking sheet (skin down to keep from sticking to much, but some will). Bake at 350 degrees for about 60-75 minutes. Take out, cool, then put in food processor with pepper, garlic and onion powder to taste. Scrap out as best you can any that stick, which will give a fire roasted flavor. Purée. You could substitute this rather than the can of diced tomatoes and the tomato paste in your recipe if you’d like. Just a thought...
