This roasted squash spaghetti is a deliciously creamy dish that has a little spice and a lot of protein! No need for any plant-based creams, as this recipe uses soaked cashews to create a rich and decadent texture, and when combined with the soft roasted squash results in a light and creamy sauce. Plus, it’s the perfect season for all kinds of squash, so get creative - this recipe also works well with pumpkin! Did I mention it’s high in protein thanks to ZENB’S Gluten Free Spaghetti with 17g protein per serving #GAINS! Brought to you by Instagram star @sepps_eats

Tasty Tips
Double check the consistency of the pasta a minute before removing from the pan to ensure it’s not overcooking. If cooked to al dente, remove before the time is finished.
