 A Fall Dish of Nutritious Deliciousness: Roasted Spaghetti Squash Topped With Homemade Turkey and Veggie Packed Marinara Looking for a fall seasonal dish that’s equally tasty and nutritious? This may just be the recipe for you! It’s a rainbow of hearty, palate appealing ingredients, packed full of protein, fiber and vitamins. You can sub a few ingredients and make this an easy vegan option too! It’s low fat, full of flavor and filling. Roasted spaghetti squash is such an easy option when it comes to pasta. The winter vegetable is a healthier option to traditional flour based pasta. It’s lower carb full of fiber and stocked with vitamins and antioxidants. It goes in the oven to roast while the sauce simmers. No pots boiling over pasta water. It couldn’t be easier. This dish can be changed in so many ways. It can be topped with a creamy yogurt sauce for a French flair, tahini based sauce for a Mediterranean flavor or like I prepare it here for an Italian twist. Use vegan ingredients, turkey, beef, tofu, or shrimp. The possibilities are endless. Each natural ingredient lends its own nutritional, vitamin, mineral and antioxidant component, making this dish a warm, nourishing comfort food perfect for the season. So let’s get on to the details. What you need: Roasting pan or cookie sheet Spaghetti Squash cleaned and halved (1/2 per serving) Olive oil brushed on the open squash halves topped with Dash of salt and pepper Place sliced, oiled side down on pan to roast For the sauce 1 lb ground turkey or (tofu for vegan) 2 garlic cloves crushed 1 onion (I used red - it’s all I had on hand, yellow would be ideal) 1 can of tomato sauce 1 can optional Pumpkin purée for thicker sauce 1 TBSP Fennel seeds (adds a nutty sausage flavor) 1 TBSP Italian seasoning 1 TBSP Garlic powder Crushed red pepper flakes to taste 1/2 tsp celery salt Pinch of salt and pinch of pepper 16 oz Spinach 8 oz Mushrooms Mozzarella and Parmesan to taste as a topping  Leave me a comment if you try this dish. I would love to your thoughts. Follow me here and on social for my healthy habits to stay fit, fueled and healthy over the age of 50.

Use Cheesecake flavored pudding and you can even fill a pie crust for a mouth watering pumpkin pie cheesecake. Use vanilla to keep the pumpkin pie flavor at the forefront. In my quick video seen here on Instagram #######, I used chocolate pudding - because that’s all I had on hand and it was a delightful Mocha Pumpkin Pie Mousse. Just a hint of cocoa flavor was an undertone for the pumpkin pie flavor - giving coffee shop vibes. Delightful! I’m sure there are more flavor options I haven’t thought of - if you know of a variation please share. Comment if you try this. I’d love to hear feedback.
