Ingredients

Sauce

  • 2 cans (or 27 oz) full fat coconut milk if you use lite coconut milk, add more arrowroot to thicken the sauce.
  • 2-4 tablespoons arrowroot flour for thickening
  • 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning I use Frontier brand
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 small white onion chopped in 1/4" peices
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Noodles

  • 1 medium cooked spaghetti squash see notes on how to cook
  • 6 oz canned tuna salmon or chicken

Instructions

  • In a fry pan, sauté chopped onions with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat for a few minutes until golden. Then add rest of sauce ingredients (except the arrowroot flour) and stir. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle arrowroot flour into sauce and whisk until sauce thickens (do not over cook, because the sauce will become too thick), then remove from heat.
  • Add cooked spaghetti squash and tuna to sauce, combine, and serve!

Notes

How to bake spaghetti squash: cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, use a large spoon to scrape the seeds from the center, lay face up on a baking tray, and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake on 450F for 25 minutes.
