   Prepare the vegetables: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus and cut the spears into 1-inch pieces. Chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic.

3. 3

   Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for several minutes until the onion is soft.

   Grease a pie pan. Press the cooked spaghetti squash into the sides and bottom of the pan to form an even crust.
