Preparation

Step 1

To prepare squash, wash and pierce 4 times with a knife, place on the middle rack in the oven and bake at 375 F for 45 minutes. Then slightly cool, cut in half and remove the seeds. With a fork scoop out the spaghetti strands and set aside.

In a large non-stick saucepan, heat olive oil and add garlic. Cook on low heat until just fragrant, increase heat to medium and add parsley and paprika, cook for 2 minutes while stirring.

Add tomatoes, mushrooms, salt and cayenne and cook for 5 more minutes stirring occasionally.

Stir in squash and lemon juice until well combined.
