ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOM PESTO SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
• With a sharp knife, slice the squash in half. If the squash is too tough, puncture in several places forming a dotted line around the squash. Microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften. Allow to cool before cutting in half.
• Scoop out the seeds, brush with oil, and sprinkle with salt, and pepper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the skin.
• Meanwhile, in a blender combine basil, olive oil, vegetarian Parmesan cheese, garlic, pine nuts, and salt. Set aside.
• In a pan add the olive oil and garlic over medium-high heat, sautè 30 seconds-1 minute, add in mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Add asparagus and stir until cooked.
• Remove squash from the oven, with a fork pull at the edges to produce that stringy "spaghetti" quality until you've completed both of them.
• In the mushroom and asparagus pan combine "spaghetti" and pesto and mix. Return to the squash and serve with or without plates. Garnish with parmesan.
• Enjoy!
