Recipe Yields 4 Servings
What You’ll Need
1 Spaghetti Squash
1 lb trumpet mushrooms, halved
1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp olive oil
Sauce
1 640 ml tomato basil sauce
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
Handful organic fresh basil leaves chopped
4 garlic cloves, sliced

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Cashew Cream
1 cup raw organic cashews
2 cups boiling hot water
WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO KNOW
Spaghetti Squash: Preheat oven to 375F. Cut the squash in half, longways. Use a spoon to take out the seeds and discard. Brush with olive oil. Place both halves of the squash in a baking pan and bake for 45 minutes. Flip the halves over and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove the squash from the oven and allow to cool. With a fork, peel the insides of the squash away from the outer shell. It should come off in long pieces that resemble spaghetti noodles.
Trump Mushrooms: Brush with olive oil, season with sea salt and black pepper, and bake at 425F for 30 minutes or air fry at 350F for 20 minutes.
Cashew Creme: Add cashews and hot boiling water into a blender. Allow this to soak for 5 minutes. Blend until smooth.
Tomato Cheesy Sauce: In another pot set on medium heat, add oil and garlic slices if raw. Fry until softened and fragrant. Then immediately pour in tomato basil sauce and cashew cream. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes covered. Pour spaghetti squash into the sauce. Add in nutritional yeast and mix. Once well-combined throw in fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with sun-dried tomatoes and roasted garlic. Serve, top with mushrooms, and enjoy!
