Great for Fall — cheesy, comforting “spaghetti” dish, without the calories and carbs of actual spaghetti! Fall is the season for squash, and there are countless ways to prepare this dish. It can be paired with a simple red sauce, bolognese, pesto, basically anything you want. I came up with this sauce when I was cooking for fun and experimenting with this recipe at my friend’s family home during Shabbat dinner. The dish got so many compliments and it was literary gone in minutes, so I decided to share it with you guys!
