Greekish Spaghetti Squash

Ingredients:

​

1 medium spaghetti squash

Drizzle olive oil

3/4 cup yellow onion, diced (~1 small onion)

3 cloves garlic, minced

Pinch red chili flakes

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1/4 cup sundried tomatoes

1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved

1/2 tsp dried oregano or savory

1 TBSP nutritional yeast

1/4 cup vegan parmesan (or sprinkle more nutritional yeast)

100g vegan feta (I love Violife Foods vegan feta) + more for topping

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley (to serve)

​

Bake the squash:

​

1) Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C. Cut the spaghetti squash in half, lengthwise. Scoop out the central pulp and seeds. Drizzle and rub with olive oil and place sliced side down onto a baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes (larger squash may take longer). Pierce with fork to test doneness and then shred baked flesh with two forks (it should be soft and spaghetti-like, but not mush). Keep the skins - you'll need them for the broiling step!

​

Prepare the filling:

​

2) Drizzle more olive oil into a medium-large fry pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add diced yellow onion. Stir for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, and then add the minced garlic and chili flakes. Stir for another minute.

​

3) Add the spinach and wilt, followed by the shredded squash. Sprinkle with oregano, nutritional yeast, and salt/pepper. Mix well to incorporate while sautéing. 

​

4) Add in sundried tomatoes and Kalamata olives. Mix well and then remove from heat.

​

5) Crumble in half the vegan feta and the full amount of the vegan parmesan. Mix well to melt in and incorporate.

​

Replace mixture and broil:

​

6) Add the mixture into each half of the spaghetti squash skins and sprinkle remaining vegan feta on top. Broil for 4-6 minutes, until cheese begins to bubble and brown slightly. Sprinkle fresh parsley and additional feta, as desired, and enjoy!

Makes 2 large servings.
