Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
Instructions
- Roasting the Squash: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place the halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for about 40-45 minutes, until tender.
- Preparing the Filling: While the squash bakes, heat a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions and minced garlic until fragrant. Then, add the red bell pepper and spinach, cooking until soft. Stir in the diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook for a few more minutes.
- Combining Ingredients: Once the spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape out the flesh into spaghetti-like strands. In a large bowl, mix the squash strands with the sautéed veggies and nutritional yeast until well combined.
- Assemble and Bake: Transfer the mixture back into one of the squash halves or a pie dish. Optionally, sprinkle additional nutritional yeast on top for a cheesy finish. Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until heated through and slightly golden.
Notes
- Don’t rush roasting: Ensure the squash is fully tender to achieve the best texture.
- Customize the cooking time: Depending on your oven, you may need to adjust the roasting time for the squash.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs amplify the flavor and make your dish even more aromatic.
- Let it rest: Allow the pie to sit for a few minutes after baking before slicing for cleaner pieces.
