This recipe is perfect for a cold night. It is a flavor packed dish that not only looks great tastes great too. The best part about it is that if you run out of spaghetti you can scrape out dome more. It may take a bit to cook everything up but in the end it is totally worth it. You can also crape out the insides and put it in a container to store for later on in the week.

Ingredients:
2 spaghetti squash
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1 cup red onion, sliced
½ cup small bell peppers, sliced
1 cup sliced portabella mushrooms

⅓ cup golden raisins
1 Tbs finely chopped jalapeño chile
½ cup coconut milk
1½ tsp curry powder
2 Tbs thinly sliced basil
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Pierce squash in several places with knife. Microwave for 3 minutes to soften. Slice off ends, and stand squash. Remove seeds with spoon.
