Today I have this super easy Spaghetti Squash Pasta with Creamy Vegan Cilantro and Lime Tahini Dressing made with the dressing I shared in my last post.
It’s really simple to make and once you have the spaghetti squash cooked and ready to go, the sauce only takes about 5 minutes and a Vitamix and dinner is ready!
I love to make different dishes with spaghetti squash pasta, which is a healthier version of traditional spaghetti pasta, and some of my favorite are: Vegan Italian Spaghetti Squash Bake, Spaghetti Squash with Basil and Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce, and Spaghetti Squash with Creamy Lemon Garlic Sauce.
