Ingredients
  

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 1 lb cooked chicken breast (optional)
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • prosciutto
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ squeeze of fresh lemon
  • 1 14 oz can full fat coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp tapioca starch
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil, ghee or olive oil
  • salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  • Slice your spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place both halves face down in a cake pan with water covering the bottom and bake for 30 minutes.
  • While baking, prepare cook your chicken and peas, if you’re using them.
  • Add chopped prosciutto, chicken and garlic into a skillet on the stove and sauté with your oil or ghee for a few minutes.
  • Pour in your coconut milk and stir, getting rid of all clumps. Your sauce will start to bubble and thicken while you take the spaghetti squash out of the oven.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together your tapioca starch and water to form a thickening paste. Add this to your sauce and stir completely.
  • Once the spaghetti squash is cool, scrape out the “noodles” with a fork and add to your skillet.
  • Stir together and add in your peas. Add salt and pepper to taste and top with (optional) micro greens or fresh herbs.
