Tips
You may need to cook the squash a little longer if it's really big. I recommend choosing organic ingredients whenever possible.
Directions
Preheat oven to 375.
Cut your spaghetti squash in half, scrape out the seeds/pulp and place it rind side up on a cookie sheet. Pour some water on the cookie sheet up to 1 inch. Throw it in the oven to cook for 1 hour.
Cut the tofu into 1 inch chunks.
Cut the onion into small pieces.
Cut the button mushrooms in half.
Cut the tomatoes up, keep the juice.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan on medium and then add the tofu - cook (and stir) until tofu is golden.
Add the tomatoes with juice to the pan.
Add chopped onions and all spices.
Turn the heat down to low and cover.
When there is about 20 minutes left for the squash to cook, throw the button mushroom into the tomato sauce and stir, recover and continue cooking.
When the squash is done, use a fork to scrape the spaghetti like strands out onto plates for serving.
Ladle your tomato sauce on top of your spaghetti squash and enjoy!
