Spaghetti Squash with Broccolini and Truffle Oil
Description
The spaghetti squash is cooked until tender and the flesh is shredded into strands resembling pasta. Shortly before the squash finishes cooking, broccolini and peas are briefly boiled to maintain a bright color and restrained bite. The drained vegetables are then mixed with the squash, drizzled with white truffle oil, and sprinkled with toasted pine nuts, salt, and pepper to taste.
Truffle oil imparts a luxurious, earthy flavor, balancing the freshness of the vegetables. The pine nuts add a toasted nutty note and texture contrast. This dish can serve as a light vegetarian main or a side accompanying proteins. It showcases seasonal produce with subtle richness from the oil and nuts.

Instructions
