Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C
  • Cut the spaghetti squash in half and deseed it. Then rub its insides with the olive oil, salt and smoked paprika
  • Place the halves cut side down on a lined baking tray and bake in the middle of your oven for 40 minutes or until a pairing knife slides in effortlessly.
  • Remove the squash halves from the oven and with a fork scrape some of the insides loose into their spaghetti shape while still leaving enough (about 5mm) on the walls so the shape holds up. And also while still leaving the spaghetti strands inside the squash halves.
  • Chop all fresh herbs and mix the loose spaghetti strands with 2/3 of the chopped herbs and the black pepper.
  • Place half of the cashew mozzarella on each squash half and sprinkle with the remaining herbs.
  • Bake at 180°C for another 10-20 minutes or until the cashew mozzarella has melted nicely.
  • Serve as they are or with an additional small sprinkle of olive oil and salt. Attention they are hot :)

Notes

If you're rather hungry serve this with some additional satiating sides.
