Ingredients
- 1 Spaghetti Squash
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- Raw Squeeze Sauce
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 1/2 Tbs Arrowroot starch (just for thickening)
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- pinch of dry mustard
- pinch of turmeric
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1 Tbs sesame seeds or tahini
- 1-2 Tbs miso paste
- 1 large or 2-3 small cloves of garlic
- sea salt to taste
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400
-
Slice squash in half lengthwise and de-seed
-
Generously rub open side of squash with olive oil and place open side down on parchment lined cookie sheet
-
Place in the oven to bake for 45min.
-
While squash is baking:
-
Make your cashew milk by blending the water and cashews together well.
-
(If you have a high powered blender skip this step). Strain out the pulp using a nut milk bag or strainer (see this vid for nut milking directions)
-
Put nut milk and remaining ingredients into the blender and blend on high until well blended (again- if you have a weaker blender, or are using a food processor, you may want to mince your garlic first).
-
Heat on low heat just until sauce is warm.
-
When squash is ready, using a fork, scrape out the insides into your bowl. Top with Squeeze sauce and sprinkle with paprika or cayenne.
