Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Cream Sauce

A few weeks ago I made this super delicious recipe from one of my favorite blogs, Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Cream Sauce from Two Peas and Their Pod.  It’s super easy and super delicious!  The combination of the red pepper, tomato, creamy Greek yogurt, and Italian spices make for an absolutely amazing tangy rich sauce.
