I’m back on my veggie noodle kick but this time I’m using spaghetti squash noodles, which I’ve lovingly decided to call spoodles. They seem so perfect for Fall with their golden color, they match the changing of the leaves. I’ve shared my sweet onion sauce recipe before BUT this time there’s a slight change that makes a world of difference in the flavor. I roasted the sweet onion instead of sautéing it! Best part about this change? It’s the easiest thing in the world to do. You just cut the onion in half, rub olive oil on it, and then place it cut side down in the oven for 30 minutes. Easy peasy right?! I loved it so much that I started doing this for my homemade soup recipes too. Sooo tasty!! You’ve got to try it. It basically tastes like the onion part of a blooming onion. Delish!
- 1 large sweet onion
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 1 large clove of garlic or two small
- 1/2 cup water (more if you don’t want it so thick)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp flour (I used GF plantain flour)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/8 tsp dried parsley
- black pepper to taste
- Preheat your oven to 425′
- Chop the sweet onion in half and rub with olive oil. Place cut side down on baking sheet with parchment paper.
- While oven is preheating, pierce the outside of the squash 8 – 10 times and place in the microwave on high for 15 minutes.
- When the squash is done, set it aside to cool. Once squash has cooled, cut in half and deseed. Drizzle some olive oil over the cut portion of the squash and place open side down on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once oven has preheated, place both the onion and squash in for 20 – 30 minutes. 30 minutes for a larger squash.
- When you’ve finished cooking the onion, peel the outside of the onion (this should be very easy). Then add all ingredients (except squash) into the food processor and blend.
- Use a fork to gently remove spoodles from the squash’s shell. Set aside.
- Pour sauce into a skillet on medium heat. Cook until sauce thickens, add spaghetti squash for a few minutes and serve.
