A delicious alternative to pasta! This dish combines roasted spaghetti squash with sauteed asparagus, onions, garlic, and goat cheese, finished with fresh thyme and basil. Garnish with a few basil leaves and some Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (2 1/2 pound) spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • cooking spray
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
  • ¼ Spanish onion, diced
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 2 ounces goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Spray spaghetti squash with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper. Place squash, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion in hot oil until just starting to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add asparagus to onion and continue to saute until onion is tender, 5 minutes more. Stir garlic into onion mixture; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove onion mixture to a plate.

Return skillet to heat. Scrape spaghetti squash flesh from skin using a fork to create ‘noodles’; stir noodles into hot skillet and saute until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Pour vegetable broth into skillet with spaghetti squash; bring broth to a simmer and cook until mostly reduced, about 2 minutes. Stir onion mixture and goat cheese into spaghetti squash until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Add basil and thyme. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
