Ingredients
-
1 cooked spaghetti squash
-
2 cups tightly packed basil
-
⅓ cup raw walnuts or pine nuts
-
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
-
3 cloves of garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
Healthy pinch of black pepper
-
3 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
Recipe
Poke whole spaghetti squash several times with a sharp knife to let steam escape. Place whole squash in microwave and cook for 10 minutes. If not fork tender, cook in two-minute increments until easily pierced with fork. Using potholders, remove squash from microwave, cut in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Use a fork to separate the strands.Blend all remaining ingredients except the oil in a food processor. Once well combined, let the food processor continue to run and slowly drizzle oil into the port. Once smooth, spoon over cooked spaghetti squash and serve.
