Your prep station before cooking begins

Units

Sauce (0/13)

2 tbspmaple syrup OR 2 dates(pitted)

3 tbspDripped Out Sun-Dried Tomatoes

3 tbspCoconut Aminos

1½ tspBLack to My Roots

1 cupfresh spinach OR basil OR cilantro OR parsley(chopped fine)

The sauce is thicker than expected.

Add water, citrus juice, or plant milk one tablespoon at a time, blending between additions until it loosens without turning watery.

The flavor tastes flat.

Add acid and salt in small increments, then let the sauce rest for a few minutes before tasting again.

The Method

IN

In a blender, add all ingredients except seaweed, fresh spinach/basil/cilantro/parsley, cherry tomatoes (11 count), and kelp noodles (4 cups).

Pitfall:

Air pockets: If blades spin without catching, stop and push ingredients down to prevent motor strain.

Mixture is combined to the texture described in the source method.

GENTLY

Time-sensitive

Gently pulse all ingredients until combined into a "ground meet" texture.

Pitfall:

Over-processing: If you blend too long, the oils will release and turn the mix into a spreadable paste rather than a crumbly texture.

Look for: combined into a "ground meet" texture.

POUR

Pour processed Walnut and/or 'Shroom mixture in a large bowl and thoroughly fold in chopped fresh spinach, basil, cilantro, or parsley. Add in seaweed nori (optional). Mix in Raw Kelp Noodles (4 cups). Massage ingredients together. Top with Cherry Tomatoes (11 count).

Pitfall:

Uneven seasoning: Failing to massage the greens and noodles thoroughly will leave the dish bland in spots.

Ingredients are evenly combined with no dry pockets.

THIS

This recipe can also be made COOKED and NOT RAW. You can roast 1 Spaghetti Squash in the oven by following these directions:

Pitfall:

Overcooking: Check early; squash becomes mushy and loses its noodle-like structure if roasted too long.

Step is complete as written in the recovered source method.

COOKED

(COOKED) SPAGHETTI AND "MEET"Sauce Recipe and Directions:

Pitfall:

Over-processing: Blending too long will turn the walnut base into a nut butter rather than a meaty crumble.

Step is complete as written in the recovered source method.

PREHEAT

Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pitfall:

Incomplete preheat: Putting squash in before the oven reaches temperature leads to uneven cooking and longer bake times.

Step is complete as written in the recovered source method.

CUT

Cut 1 spaghetti squash horizontally on a cutting board, and extract seeds. Base the inside of each half of the spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil/grape-seed oil/or avocado oil, cracked black pepper to taste, and pink salt.

Pitfall:

Slippery squash: Spaghetti squash is dense and round; secure it firmly to avoid the knife slipping during the initial cut.

Pieces are cut to the stated size or serving shape.

ON

On a baking sheet lightly based with oil, place your spaghetti squash on the sheet, inside facing up.

Pitfall:

Unstable Squash: If the squash is wobbly, slice a thin piece off the bottom exterior to create a flat base.

Step is complete as written in the recovered source method.

BAKE

Time-sensitive

Bake for 40-60 minutes (dependent on the size of your squash), or until the sides have lightly browned, and the interior is tender.

Pitfall:

Undercooked squash: If the squash is still firm, the texture will be stringy and unpleasant. Ensure it is fork-tender.

Look for: the sides have lightly browned.

ONCE

Once it is done baking, fluff the interior of the squash with a fork, so that it may be spaghetti noodles!

Pitfall:

Over-scraping: Avoid scraping too close to the skin to prevent bitter, woody bits from mixing into the noodles.

Step is complete as written in the recovered source method.

ON

On each side of the squash, add in 1 spoonful at a time, your desired amount of walnut "meet".

Pitfall:

Uneven distribution: Adding too much in one spot can cause the squash strands to collapse or clump together.

Step is complete as written in the recovered source method.

YOU

You can also make this entire dish cooked by replacing the 1 cup of walnuts or portobello 'shrooms with 1 cup of cooked lentils, then follow the rest of the recipe exactly the same.

Pitfall:

Watery consistency: Excess moisture from cooked lentils can make the sauce runny; drain them thoroughly before adding.

Mixture has rested for the listed time.
