Spaghetti Squash with Asparagus
FujoshiFangirl
"Spaghetti squash is an excellent healthy alternative to standard pastas, and is flavorful enough to stand on its own without a heavy sauce. Top with a little optional Parmesan cheese."

Ready In
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Coat the inside of spaghetti squash with olive oil and place, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender and a fork can easily puncture the flesh, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and cool squash until easily handled, about 15 minutes.
- Heat coconut oil in a skillet over low heat; cook and stir asparagus until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes.
- Shred the squash flesh using a fork to create long strands that resemble noodles. Mix squash and basil into asparagus, adding more coconut oil if too dry; cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and mix tomatoes and pine nuts into squash mixture.

This was delicious! We had it as a side dish, and the squash was really big, so I only used about 2/3 of it. I used garlic salt and pepper when I cooked the asparagus. I will definitely make ...

The only change that I made was I added sliced Kielbasa. Chicken would've also worked out well. A definite keeper.

Awesome recipe! I used garlic olive oil, no coconut oil. I used red bell pepper instead of tomato. I added sliced kalmata olives and zucchini. The pine nuts and fresh basil are the most importan...

Turned out well. I subbed roasted red peppers for the tomatoes and added roasted turkey for protein. Turned out tasty; I’ll definitely make this again.

Great start, but I added broccoli, green and red peppers, Spanish onions, and marinated grilled chicken and it was absolutely delicious! Felt like a hearty, but healthy meal.
