Savory Spaghetti Squash Recipe from Our Guest Blogger, Jamie Barker of Wallace & James

Autumn is in the air. The weather is cooling, the days are getting shorter, we begin to see pumpkin-spice everything and squash is abundant at the farmer’s market. The chilly nights inspire me to roast vegetables and Spaghetti squash is one of my fall favorites for it’s versatility and ability to satisfy my Italian food cravings without actually eating pasta. This recipe is simple and saves well which suits our home nicely.
