I have been trying to experiment with grain free pastas lately. I first made my Zucchini Pasta with Avocado Pesto. That was a huge hit, so I thought I would try spaghetti squash next. That is how this Spaghetti Squash with Pesto Sauce was born. Now this pesto sauce is different. It is made with hemp oil
Spaghetti squash is super easy to make. No spiralizer

Recipe Notes
This dish should last about a week in the fridge. The pesto sauce may be frozen, but I am not sure if the squash can be.
