Vegetarians looking for creative meal ideas need to look no further than this stuffed spaghetti squash meal serving delicious Mexican-inspired cuisine inside the squash's flesh. This is a great way to use parts of the produce you'd otherwise throwout as presentational pieces.
The dish begins with a veggie filling made from black beans, spicy pablano pepers, corn, pepitas, avocado and lime tossed together with seasoning. The mixture is then combined and placed inside a cooked spaghetti squash that has had the inner string-like strains loosened with a fork. The veggies are filled inside the squash that acts as the bowl and with a homemade dairy-free cashew crema.
Not only is this dish incredibly nutritious, it reduces dirty dishes by using the spaghetti squash as the bowl.
