Creamy Vegan Tuscan Spaghetti Squash
Description
This Creamy Vegan Tuscan Spaghetti Squash uses roasted spaghetti squash as the base, which is then combined with a coconut milk sauce infused with garlic. Baby spinach is added to the pan and cooked until wilted, contributing a subtle bitterness that balances the creaminess from the coconut milk. Sun-dried tomatoes add a sweet, concentrated flavor, and artichoke hearts provide a tender, slightly tangy texture. Dried parsley and seasoning with sea salt and black pepper complete the savory profile. The dish is cooked on the stovetop after roasting the squash, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken. It can be served as a side or a light entrée option.
Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash roasted, about 3 cups, medium
- 3/4 cup coconut milk full-fat, canned
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained
- 1/2 cup artichoke hearts
- 1 tsp parsley dried
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by roasting the spaghetti squash by following my instructions on How To Roast Spaghetti Squash or Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash.
- Once the spaghetti squash has finished roasting and is cool enough to handle, use a fork to release the spaghetti strands and place them in a large bowl (or large 4-cup measuring cup if you have one).
- Heat the coconut milk in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat until it comes to a full boil.
- Add the garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally until garlic is very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add the spaghetti squash to the skillet and stir well. Add the baby spinach and cover. Cook until spinach has wilted.
- Remove the lid and stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, dried parsley, sea salt and black pepper. Continue cooking another 2 to 3 minutes until all ingredients are well-combined and the sauce is nice and thick.
- Serve alongside your favorite entrée, and enjoy! You can also add your favorite protein such as chicken breasts, rotisserie chicken, shrimp, or ground turkey to the meal.
