Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 2 Tbsp olive oil divided, 30 mL
- 8 oz button mushrooms 225 g
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce 15 mL
- 1 tsp maple syrup 5 mL
- ½ tsp liquid smoke
- ¼ cup wine red or white
- 3 cups fresh spinach 100 g
- 2-4 oz fresh goat cheese 55 to 110 g
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Cut* spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the inside with 1 Tbsp of olive oil, then rub to evenly coat. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and prick the outside with a fork.
- Roast: Roast for about 30 minutes, or until fork tender but still a little firm. When finished, flip over and allow to cool enough to touch.
- Mushrooms: Meanwhile clean and slice mushrooms into ¼ inch thick slices. In a large bowl, stir together remaining oil, soy, maple, and liquid smoke. Stir in the mushrooms, tossing to evenly coat. Transfer to a large saute pan and cook over high until soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes (drain excess water while cooking if needed to help them brown).
- Wine + Spinach: With the heat still on, add the wine to the pan of mushrooms, stirring until it evaporates. Add the spinach, stirring until it wilts down. Remove from heat.
- Spaghettify: Use a fork to scrape strands from the inside of the spaghetti squash. (If serving in the shells, leave about ¼ inch of flesh in the squash to support your bowls.)
- Assemble: Add spaghetti squash noodles and goat cheese to the pan of mushrooms, stirring to evenly combine. Serve warm, topped with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.
- *Cutting the squash: Cut horizontal for longer spaghetti strands. Cut lengthwise for prettier presentation when serving the mac and cheese in the squash shell.
