  • 1 tbsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder

Pumpkin Cream Sauce

  • 1 can pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 can canned coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

Pasta Base

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large shallot chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1/2 cup sage + extra for topping thinly sliced length wise
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced, I used baby bella
  • 1/4 cup vegan feta for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Slice the spaghetti squash length-wise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Lay the squash face up and coat with olive oil, dried herbs, salt and pepper then place on a baking sheet laying face down. Cook in oven for 30 minutes.
  • Once the squash has baked, remove it from the oven and flip the squash to be face up. Cook for another 5-10 minutes in the oven until you can easily pierce the inside of squash with a fork. Set aside and let cool.
  • To make the pumpkin cream sauce, add all ingredients besides coconut milk to a blender. Slowly add in coconut milk as you blend until you reach a thick consistency. Taste to adjust seasoning where needed then set aside when done.
  • Over medium heat, add olive oil, shallots, and garlic to a saucepan. Cook for about 3 minutes then add in sage and mushrooms. Cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Using a fork, scrape out the noodles from the spaghetti squash and add to the saucepan mixture. Add in the pumpkin cream sauce and lower the heat to a simmer. Stir to coat noodleds evenly. Adjust seasoning where needed.
  • Divide noodles into serving bowls then top with vegan feta and extra sage. Ready to serve!
