Spaghetti Squash with roasted cauliflower, spinach and bacon.

Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Cauliflower by ilonaspassion.com

I remember when I first tried spaghetti squash. It was actually recently in February. I really liked it from the beginning., And I’m often coming back to this vegetable. This recipe can be made totally vegetarian, just omit bacon. The rest are just veggies like spinach and roasted cauliflower.

I noticed a new recipe on the web for mashed cauliflower. The one with cheese and bacon… but instead of mashed potatoes you get cauliflower as a lighter version. It’s clever idea and right away I thought about how to incorporate this in my new recipe. I had spaghetti squash in my fridge and I had to do something with it. I thought that roasted cauliflower will nicely add some flavor to the dish.

Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Cauliflower by ilonaspassion.com

First I baked my spaghetti squash and I roasted cauliflower. Then I simmered spinach with bacon on the pan. Stuffed the squash and bake for 10 minutes. Quick, easy and not difficult at all. I usually cook my cauliflower and serve with bread crumbs. But I’ve never made roasted cauliflower and I wanted to try it if I like it. I like eat very much and some of the florets I just ate straight from the oven by itself. Yummy!

If you would like to add some more bacon or other meat, just go ahead and do it. But it can be also served meatless as vegetarian option.

    Oh my word! I love, love, love spaghetti squash! My latest obsession is to have it with pesto-but I’ve never though about cauliflower! I will have to try this soon! Do you think it would turn out without the cheese?

      It think it will be good without the cheese also. Or you can add pesto instead of cheese. I have to try spaghetti squash with pesto. It must be delicious!

    I have heard so many great things about spaghetti squash, but have never made it. I guess it’s a little intimidating to me. But, I am ready to try it and I will use your recipe. Thank you for sharing!

    This looks amazing! I can’t wait to try the combination of cauliflower and spaghetti squash! I have actually never even tried roasted cauliflower. We always roast our broccoli, but have never tried cauliflower!
