Ingredients
  • Spaghetti Squash
  • (you can use premade that's been thawed or make it for this.  It's faster if you already have some cooked on hand though)
  • 3 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 jar of Bionaturae tomato paste
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 full bunch of asparagus, cut into half inch pieces.
Directions
  1. Salt a large pot of water and bring to a boil.
  2. As you do that, add oil to a large pan over medium heat and add the onion, garlic, carrot, salt, and pepper.  Cook until tender. About 8 minutes.
  3. Add the tomato paste to the carrots et al. and ½ a cup of the hot water.  Stir to melt the tomato paste and creat a sauce.
  4. Meanwhile, add the asparagus to the hot water to cook quickly.
  5. As the asparagus cooks stir the oregano, thyme and parsley into the sauce pan.  It only takes a moment to cook the asparagus to a beautiful bright green.
  6. When you see that, reserve a cup of the asparagus water and drain the asparagus.  Add the asparagus to the sauce.
  7. If it needs more liquid add the water you reserved.
  8. Mix the sauce with the spaghetti squash to fully incorporate the ingredients.
  9. Serve immediately with parmesan on the table for anyone interested in adding cheese.
