TIPS
If substituting pasta for spaghetti squash, follow these instructions:
Cut spaghetti squash in half, scoop out seeds and brush with oil. Place half of the remaining ingredients in each half of the squash and bake at on a baking tray lined with parchment paper at 400F for 30-45 mins, or until the squash is soft but slightly resistant when stabbed with a fork. Scrape the strands of squash with a fork, while mixing with the rest of the ingredients.
