Cut spaghetti squash lengthwise in half, remove seeds, transfer to baking tray and season with olive oil, salt and pepper. In my experience, adding too much oil and salt here tends to make the squash a bit watery. So, no need to over season here; a light drizzle and sprinkle of seasoning will work well.

Next, turn your squash cut side down and poke a few holes through the skin using a fork. This will help ensure that everything cooks thoroughly all the way through. Then transfer to oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. *Note, cook time will of course depend on the strength of your oven and thickness of squash so adjust as needed.

While squash is cooking, wash, chop and season carrots, onion, peppers and tomatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Cut the top off your head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil and wrap in tin foil. Place in baking tray with vegetables and then transfer to oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Once that’s all finished baking, add your roasted vegetables and garlic to a Vitamix or high speed blender and blend until creamy. Slowly mix in bone broth until you’ve reached your desired consistency, then set aside.

Next, for the squash: remove from oven and let it cool. *This step is important as it will be quite hot, so you won’t want to scrape out the strands just yet. I like to wait at least 5 or 10 minutes and then with a fork, start from the outside, working my way towards the center.

7.

While you’re waiting for squash to cool, sauté sliced mushrooms in left over bone broth and egg washed sage leaves. These will top your dish, so set aside when finished cooking.
