When I’m really hungry, I have a tendency to look in my fridge, grab an armful of ingredients, and throw it all together. Sometimes, it turns out really terribly. Those times, I still eat it (come on, I don’t waste food…), I just make a mental note to never do that again. Then there are times when it turns out wonderfully! I’m going to share with you one of those wonderful kitchen surprises today! And hint, hint, it involves one of my favorite foods: spaghetti squash!
This recipe is super easy and super delicious! I’ve had it at least once a day for the past couple days.

What are your favorite spaghetti squash recipes?
Yum. Every time I see a recipe with spaghetti squash I tell myself I am going to buy it and use it and have yet to do so. Must do ASAP!
It’s so good and so easy!! I think you’ll fall in love
There is something magical about creating a good dish in the kitchen!! I loveee spah squash. Before I went vegan my favorite way to eat it was right out of the skin with beans, salsa, cheese, and Fage greek yogurt. SO good!
Ohh baby, I’m going to try the beans, salsa, cheese, and greek yogurt combo ASAP!
I LOVE mixing TJs marinara sauce with Greek yogurt…thick, creamy “blush” that’s wayyyyy healthier and more protein packed! definitely making this asap
Yay! Let me know how it goes
YUM! i haven’t had spaghetti squash in a while but this is making me want some right now. i love squash with marinara.
Me too! It’s such a great winter food combo.
Holy yum!! I desperately need to try spaghetti squash. I just never know what squash to buy! Does it matter? I’m the same way when I’m hungry though except that I usually end up pacing my kitchen grabbing cereal until I can think of something haha have a fantastic weekend!
oh damn, I was just at TJ’s. Wish I read this before so I could grab that marinara! Oh well, I can make this with another kind. Sounds delish though.
Hate it when that happens! At least this means you’ll be back at TJs sooner rather than later…
truuuuue that. I always say I’m saving TJs shopping sprees as a treat, but I end up going once a week because I walk past it on my way to my favorite movie theater! hahaha, addicteddddd.
I never tried spaghetti squash but after seeing multiple recipes including yours I want to SO bad!
It’s super easy! You should definitely try it
sounds pretty good, I haven’t had spaghetti squash in ages. I bet this would be good with cheese added too.
I bet it would too! Next time, I’ll definitely be adding some cheese.
YUM! I am definitely one who goes to the fridge and throws all my random ingredients together hoping for a creation! I’m all about the spaghetti squash and pasta saue but now I need to try it with greek yogurt and avo!! It sounds amazeballs
Haha, glad I’m not the only refrigerator dumper
Marinara sauce and avocado? Sold! Seriously, this sounds delicious. I’ve actually never had spaghetti squash before, but I’ve had spaghetti if that counts
Haha, it definitely counts
I’ve never seen or had spaghetti squash, but this looks good!
I hadn’t heard of it before this year either, but now that I have, I’m in love!
