Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Citrus

I love spaghetti squash. Do you like it? I can eat it just like pasta, with sauce, pesto, or garlic butter. It’s squash season right now, so you can easily pick some up at the farmers market or grocery store. This recipe is similar to a pasta salad. The dressing is light and the other vegetables and toasted almonds add crunch.

A Squash Potluck

Before the pandemic Don and I used to go to a music festival called “Squashfest.” We aren’t doing these kinds of events right now. Squashfest is held in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Everyone attending is supposed to bring a squash dish to share with others attending the festival.

I brought this Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Citrus one year, and it got rave reviews. It is gluten free, dairy free and vegan. And delicious whether it is served warm, room temperature or cold.

What You Need
