Ingredients
  

1 medium spaghetti squash

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cauliflower florets, steamed

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth

1/4 cup nutritional yeast (for a cheesy flavor)

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-calorie milk alternative)

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spaghetti Squash:

    - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      - Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush the insides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

        - Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily scraped with a fork.

          Make the Alfredo Sauce:

            - While the squash is roasting, steam the cauliflower florets until tender (about 10-15 minutes).

              - In a blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, minced garlic, vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, almond milk, and Italian seasoning. Blend until smooth and creamy.

                Combine and Serve:

                  - Once the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.

                    - In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the spaghetti squash strands and the Alfredo sauce, stirring until well-coated and heated through. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

                      - Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
