Spaghetti Squash with Asparagus Recipe

Spaghetti Squash with Asparagus Recipe

  • 1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, or more as needed
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, or more to taste
  • 5 leaves fresh basil, chopped, or more to taste
  • 1 cup multi-colored cherry tomatoes, halved, or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts, or to taste
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Coat the inside of spaghetti squash with olive oil and place, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender and a fork can easily puncture the flesh, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and cool squash until easily handled, about 15 minutes.
  4. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over low heat; cook and stir asparagus until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes.
  5. Shred the squash flesh using a fork to create long strands that resemble noodles. Mix squash and basil into asparagus, adding more coconut oil if too dry; cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and mix tomatoes and pine nuts into squash mixture.
