Instructions

1
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C. Cut the spaghetti squash in half, remove the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30 minutes until the flesh is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
2
Step 2
While the squash is roasting, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook for 5 minutes until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside for later use.
3
Step 3
In a pan over medium heat, add a bit of oil and sauté the grated ginger and chopped green olives for about 3 minutes until fragrant. This will infuse the dish with a warm, aromatic flavor.
4
Step 4
In a small saucepan, whisk together the Greek yogurt and a beaten egg. Gently heat the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously until it slightly thickens. Be careful not to let it boil.
5
Step 5
Once the squash is done, use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands. Combine these strands with the cooked rice noodles and the ginger-olive sauté in a large bowl, mixing well to ensure even distribution.
6
Step 6
Finally, drizzle the warm yogurt sauce over the squash and noodle mixture. Serve immediately while warm, garnished with additional olives if desired.
