Ingredients
  • 2 cups spaghetti squash, roasted (see Instructions)
  • ½ cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons minced sweet onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
  1. To roast the spaghetti squash, preheat the oven to 375°F. Slice the squash in half lengthways and place skin-side-up in a shallow baking pan filled with a ½ inch of water. Roast for 1 hour until tender and the meat easily pulls away from the skin.
  2. For the sauce, heat the coconut milk and water over medium heat in a small sauce pan, stirring constantly. When it begins to simmer, turn down to low heat. Stir in the minced onion and garlic.
  3. Slowly add in the arrowroot ½ tbsp at a time, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Cook for five minutes until the mixture begins to thicken. If too thick, add more water and if too thin add ½ tbsp more arrowroot.
  4. Stir in the pepper, basil, oregano, salt, and lemon.
  5. Toss the sauce with the cooked spaghetti squash and serve topped with parsley.
