Charred Pork with Roasted Jalapeno Tomato Sauce over Spaghetti Squash – - Recipe

One of the things that brings my wife and I so much happiness is to garden together. Second to that is cooking from our garden. To plant the seeds, nurture them, watch them grow with excitement and then to harvest with much anticipation, it only seems right to make those ingredients shine. This recipe is one of our favorites and most times, we leave the pork out of the dish, making the vegetables center stage.
