Notes

* I used unsweetened ketchup
**can use soy sauce in place of coconut aminos or braggs aminos
***can make the sauce while spaghetti squash is cooking and will save time
I usually make my spaghetti squash up ahead of time and just store in the fridge so ready to use for recipes.
****vegan option: use maple syrup instead of honey
