Put the cashews and sun-dried tomatoes in a blender with 3\/4 cup of water and leave to soak while you prepare the vegetables. Spray two small\/med rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray (or line with parchment paper). Wash the spaghetti squash and use a sharp chef&#8217;s knife to cut it in half lengthwise.

Repeat with the second half. Divide the squash among plates and top with sauce.
