Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Use a sharp knife to cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Then use a tablespoon to scoop out the seeds.
- Rub the insides of each squash half with a little bit of olive oil, then place them cut side down on a baking dish or sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Cooking time varies depending on the size of your squash. A small squash is done sooner (30 mins) than a large squash (60 mins).
- Once squash is done baking, set aside until it is cool enough to handle. Then fluff the interior with a fork to get a spaghetti-like texture.
- In a skillet or saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute, stirring, until fragrant. Then add the spinach and cook for a further minute until wilted. Drain any excess liquid as needed, then stir in the vegan cream cheese (or cashew cream*) to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the spinach cream into each squash boat and stir to mix. Top with vegan feta and additional grated dairy-free cheese or vegan parmesan, if desired.
- Bake at 356°F (180°C) for 8-10 minutes, then turn your oven to broil and bake another 3-5 minutes or until hot, cheesy and slightly golden-brown on top.
- Serve immediately while hot with toasted pine nuts and fresh thyme on top!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise using a serrated knife and remove the seeds with a spoon. Brush the flesh of both halves with 1 teaspoon oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Put the halves flesh-side down on a baking sheet and cook until tender, the flesh can easily be flaked with a fork and the edges just turn brown, about 45 minutes. Separate the strands of squash by scraping the flesh with a fork. Leave the scraped strands inside the squash.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and taking care to keep some larger chunks, until it just starts to brown and crisp up, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the tomatoes, thyme, red pepper flakes and garlic and cook, stirring, until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce reduces by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the white beans and spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach just wilts and is still vibrant green, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Divide the sausage mixture between the 2 squash halves and mix with the squash strands until well combined. Sprinkle each squash half with 1 tablespoon Parmesan and serve with more red pepper flakes, if using.
SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH SPINACH, FETA AND HERBED WHITE BEANS
The guests were soon to arrive and I had no good ideas. I browsed the Six O'Clock Solutions cook book published in 1995 by the Vancouver Sun. A quick tri to the store (unfortunately NOT the garden) and I had a delicious vegetarian meal ready> Many compliments were received

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH WHITE BEANS
In the back corner of our garden I decided to throw some grocery store spaghetti squash seeds to see if they would grow.. Man did they. Now we have more than I know what to do with, so friends get a lot. This is one of the really good recipes I've made out of it. Instead of broccolini, I actually used the baby broccoli florets we got after the main broccoli heads were harvested from our broccoli plants. They aren't as bitter as broccolini, but I'm sure both are good. Swiss chard and collards are also good additions, but when I made this, I was sick of those :) If you'd like to add greens, just add when you add the beans.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH I
The flesh of spaghetti squash comes out in long strands, very much resembling the noodles for which it is named. In this recipe, the 'noodles' are tossed with vegetables and feta cheese. You can substitute different vegetables, but be sure to use ones that have contrasting colors.
