Spaghetti Squash with Asparagus image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
2 tablespoons coconut oil, or more as needed
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, or more to taste
5 leaves fresh basil, chopped, or more to taste
1 cup multi-colored cherry tomatoes, halved, or more to taste
2 tablespoons pine nuts, or to taste

Steps:

  • 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.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my spaghetti squash turned out mushy and bland.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavors were nice, but the squash was a bit too mushy for my liking.

This recipe was a disaster. The squash was undercooked and the sauce was too watery.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or maybe some roasted vegetables.

This spaghetti squash with asparagus recipe was a hit! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the squash was cooked to perfection. I added a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes for a little extra kick. Will definitely be making this again!
