"The idea for this recipe came from a recipe for hash brown casserole that was full of cheese and cream. This has neither, but is so tasty and very healthy! Makes a great side dish, or a main dish if you are vegetarian. "

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Cut the spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Place in a covered dish with a ¼ inch of water and microwave for 10 -12 minutes. Using a fork, scrape the insides of the squash and transfer to a small bowl.

Step 2

In a food processor, make breadcrumbs by pulsing the bread and 2 tablespoons margarine to a medium-fine texture. Set aside.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 4

In a saucepan, add shallots, potatoes, carrots, onion, cashews, and the one cup water, and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are very soft.

Step 5

In a blender, process the softened vegetables and cooking water, salt, garlic, 1/4 cup margarine, mustard, lemon juice, black pepper, and paprika until perfectly smooth.

Step 6

In a large bowl, toss the cooked squash and blended sauce until completely coated.

Step 7

Spread mixture into a 7 x 11 casserole dish and sprinkle with prepared breadcrumbs.

Step 8

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the top has turned golden brown.
