I really enjoy pumpkin and I really enjoy mushrooms and what’s better than combining the two to create a delicious meal. What I like to make is oven-baked spaghetti squash with mushrooms with a creamy sauce.
I often cook for myself and that is why a whole spaghetti squash is too much for one meal. So I usually bake the squash and refrigerate one half to prepare a dish for the next day.
With today’s half, I will prepare a creamy spaghetti squash with mushrooms.
Creamed Spaghetti Squash with Mushrooms
Ingredients for one serving
- half a spaghetti squash
- 1/3 cup cream
- 1/2 cup vegan feta cheese
- Italian herbs
- 2 tbsp refined olive oil
- a small onion
- a handful of mushrooms (whichever mushrooms you prefer)
- salt
- pepper
Topping:
- crushed roasted walnuts
Preparation
In case you missed out on how to prepare spaghetti squash follow these steps
- Preheat oven to 4oo degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half and with a tablespoon scoop out the seeds.
