Broccoli & Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Casseroles are such a great Midwest way to bring a lot of fun and delicious ingredient into one family favorite dish! They're also a great way to make use of your favorite proteins, vegetables, and grains including those that need to get used up quickly! Here we use locally grown spaghetti squash with a creamy, garlicy, vegan sauce and the ENTIRE head of broccoli to create a warm, tasty, and delicious dinner. If you have a little Parmesan or cheddar, it would make a perfect topping.
