Spaghetti Squash Alfredo with Portobello Mushrooms
- 4 Portobello Mushrooms
- 1 cup Raw Cashews (preferably Soaked Overnight In Water And Drained)
- 1 Tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
- 1 Tablespoon Vegan Butter (I Use Earth Balance)
- 3/4 cups Almond Or Soy Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Tahini
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 cups Baby Spinach
- 1 Medium Spaghetti Squash
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On a baking sheet, add portobello mushrooms, stem side down.
- Bake for about 2530 minutes, or until mushrooms are soft throughout.
- Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
- In a food processor, add cashews, nutritional yeast, vegan butter, almond/soy milk, tahini, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, red pepper flakes, and baby spinach.
- Blend until smooth.
- Cut portobello mushrooms into 1/2 inch pieces and add half of the mushrooms to the food processor.
- Blend until smooth.
- Add the remaining mushrooms and stir, keeping those mushrooms chunky.
- To make the roasted spaghetti squash, cut squash in half lengthwise.
- Using an ice cream scooper or spoon, scoop out inside of squash, seeds and all.
- Brush halves with a little olive oil, around 1/2 teaspoon per half.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the squash halves, cut side down.
- Bake for about 45 minutes and remove from oven.
- Flip squash halves cut side up again; they should be browned and steaming hot.
- Poke with a fork a bit to make sure squash is fully cooked.
- It should be stringy and soft.
- If squash is cooked and ready, start scraping squash flesh with a fork, over and over.
- Continue with each half until all squash is in spaghetti-like strands.
- Transfer squash to bowls.
- Add a generous amount of alfredo sauce and mix it in.
- Enjoy!
- This recipe makes about 2 cups alfredo sauce, or about 3 servings.
