amazingly tasty so much more than pesto with red chile and basil shrimp over spaghetti squash

Anybody want to name this dish?
I've been meaning to make this for a while and finally got to it last night. It was all eaten before I got a chance to remember to take a picture, but it was beautiful, green and freaking yummy. Guess this isn't the most pro food blog you've ever seen, but then again, that's not really the point I suppose. The point is to post easy wing it recipes. So here you go....

SPAGHETTI SQUASH: cut it in half, scrape out the seeds, place it cut side down with some water on a pan in the oven, and roast at about 400 (my Better Half does 375 I think) until soft. 30-45 minutes? When it's done, scrape it out of the skin/shell and treat it like pasta.

While that's cooking, get busy throwing all the following stuff into your food processor (I use a Ninja blender and it seems to work just as well).

PESTO STUFF:

• olive oil
• a few hand fulls of fresh basil
• a couple hand fulls of fresh, raw spinach
• a ripe avocado
• a small pile of pine nuts
• a heap of garlic
• lemon or lime juice
• even more fresh basil (or maybe even some cilantro instead)
• salt/pepper
• a little bit of whatever veggies you have left over from other stuff: I threw in a bit of raw cauliflower along with some sauteed onions and serranos.
• I definitely recommend adding some kind of chile pepper like serrano or jalepeno, but the extra veggies are just that: extra. By all means, leave out anything you think might jack up the flavor or texture too much.

When the spaghetti is done, cook your shrimp. I like to wait until the spaghetti squash is done since shrimp takes relatively no time at all. 

RED CHILE & BASIL SHRIMP: saute everything together, adding the basil at the very last so it wilts just enough to release the best flavor without over-cooking. You could even turn off the stove, and then throw it in.

• shrimp
• minced garlic
• cooking oil/fat of choice (I prefer bacon grease)
• red chile flakes
• *splash of white wine (optional)
• chopped, fresh basil
• salt/pepper

 Finally, mix and/or layer everything-- spaghetti squash, pesto, and shrimp-- to your liking, and enjoy with a lemon or lime wedge. This is definitely one of my favorites!
