Spaghetti Squash with Lentil Ragù

Servings 2
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • oil salt and pepper

For the sauce

  • 1/2 can lentils
  • 1 onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 can tomato sauce
  • your favourite spices (I used this spice mix: 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1 tsp vegetable stock powder

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat the oven 200°C (400°F).
  • Carefully cut the squash in half using a sharp knife( sideways! It will result in longer “spaghetti”). Scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
  • Drizzle the inside of the squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place the squash halves face-down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  • Once cooked use a fork to scrape the inside of the squash into spaghetti-like strands. Be gentle as you want to keep the length of the strands intact .
  • Toss with your favourite sauce, I used my easy vegan lentil ragù recipe. I am not exaggerating: it was AMAZING .
