Mushroom Ragout

If you're looking for meatless Lent meals, this recipe is perfect for you. Ragout is a French red sauce with normally some meat. Today I decided to make my own version of a vegetarian ragout sauce. Quick and simple plus I used spaghetti squash instead of pasta which is great for those watching their carb intake. Bon Appetit!
