Warm Spaghetti Squash Salad with Artichoke Purée #spaghettisquashrecipes #artichokepuree #spaghettisquashsalad #artichokedressing

A zesty and silky purée gives mild spaghetti squash a big boost of flavor for an easy and satisfying weeknight dinner.  Warm Spaghetti Squash Salad with Artichoke Purée #spaghettisquashrecipes #artichokepuree #spaghettisquashsalad #artichokedressingSpaghetti squash is one of my all time favorite things to eat during the fall and winter months. Once cooked, these golden beauties are Mother Nature’s ready-made noodles and they are fantastic! Warm Spaghetti Squash Salad with Artichoke Purée #spaghettisquashrecipes #artichokepuree #spaghettisquashsalad #artichokedressingIt’s so easy to prepare even on a busy weeknight and works beautifully as a main meal or a side dish.

Customizing this versatile squash with bright ingredients boosts its mild flavor. I love roasting it and then packing it full of goodness right in its own skin to make “boat” casseroles the whole family loves.

    This looks so good and it helps that it is healthy. I was noticing that your food photos are so stunning. Do you mind me asking where you learned about food photography? I’m trying to really improve this skill for my site. Thanks!

      Thanks so much, Nikla! Your feedback means the world to me…I actually don’t have any formal training in photography. I’ve been winging it and learning as I go along, but am thrilled to hear a positive word about it.

    I just baked spaghetti squash last night and served it with meatballs and marinara sauce. My family most often ate summer squash growing up, but spaghetti squash is a regular on my menu! It’s such a fun veggie!

    Omg this is such a delicious thing to eat! I also add cheese when I make mine, but I switched to Mexican Panela cheese – it’s salty but is not overwhelming
