*This recipe can also be made COOKED and NOT RAW. You can roast 1 Spaghetti Squash in the oven by following these directions:

(COOKED) SPAGHETTI AND "MEET"Sauce Recipe and Directions:

Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cut 1 spaghetti squash horizontally on a cutting board, and extract seeds. Base the inside of each half of the spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil/grape-seed oil/or avocado oil, cracked black pepper to taste, and pink salt. 

On a baking sheet lightly based with oil, place your spaghetti squash on the sheet, inside facing up. 

Bake for 40-60 minutes (dependent on the size of your squash), or until the sides have lightly browned, and the interior is tender.

Once it is done baking, fluff the interior of the squash with a fork, so that it may be spaghetti noodles! 

On each side of the squash, add in 1 spoonful at a time, your desired amount of walnut "meet". 

You can also make this entire dish cooked by replacing the 1 cup of walnuts or portobello 'shrooms with 1 cup of cooked lentils, then follow the rest of the recipe exactly the same.
