Ingredients

Spaghetti Squash Pasta

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Arugula Pesto

  • 3 cups fresh arugula
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup pine nuts
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400℉.

  2.  Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the flesh of the squash with olive oil and season with the salt and pepper.

  3. Place the squash on a roasting pan, flesh side down. Bake the squash for 35-40 minutes, then cool for 5-10 minutes.

  4. Use a fork to scrape the sides of the spaghetti squash and to shred your “noodles.”

  5. Pesto: Place arugula, the garlic cloves, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper into a food processor and pulse until combined well. Slowly pour in the olive oil and continue to pulse the mixture.

  6. Toss the pesto with the squash noodles and enjoy!
