How To Make debz's cheezy veggie boat

  • 1
    Boats: Prepare squash by slicing in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and its membrane. In a shallow roasting pan with 1/2 inch of water, place squash flesh side down in water. Cook in 350 degree oven for 45-60 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven. Carefully remove from the water and allow to cool enough to handle.
  • 2
    Sauce: Saute onions and mushrooms in vegtable broth until tender. Add garlic, parsley, marinara sauce and broccoli. Cook on medium heat until broccoli is tender. Remove from heat.
  • 3
    Once the squash has cooked and cooled, place each squash on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If you are using spagetti squash, take a fork and rake down the length of the squash and shred the flesh so it looks like spaghetti. (Leave the spaghetti in the cavity. Fill each cavity with broccoli/vegtable sauce and top with nutty parm. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • 4
    Nutty Parm: Place all ingrdients in a blender and turn on high until coarsely ground. This texture should resemble parmesan cheese.
