Ingredients:

• 1 spaghetti squash
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 bag of spinach
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 8oz pkg vegan cream cheese (I prefer WayFare)
• 1/4-1/2cup oat milk
• Vegan parm (or any of your fave vegan cheese, you won’t need too much)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• A little oil for drizzle

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Chop the spaghetti squash in half long ways and scrape out the seeds. Drizzle with a little oil and salt and pepper. Flip over so it’s flesh side down and roast for about 40 minutes.
3. While the squash is roasting, begin making the filling. In a pan on medium/low sweat down the onion, carrot and celery until softer.
4. Add the baby spinach and let wilt. Then add the garlic for just about a minute.
5. Stir in the vegan cream cheese, oat milk and a little vegan parm. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Once the squash is done, shred just a bit of the middle but not all of it and keep in the skin. Add the filling to each and top with more vegan parm. Bake again in a 350°F oven for just about 8 minutes to melt the top cheese a bit.
7. Serve in squash bowls and enjoy!
