To make this dish, you will need one medium-sized spaghetti squash, one can of lentils, one can of crushed tomatoes, one onion, two cloves of garlic, one tablespoon of olive oil, one teaspoon of dried oregano, one teaspoon of dried basil, salt, and pepper.
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
While the squash is baking, prepare the lentil bolognese sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the lentils, crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until it has thickened.
Once the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands. Divide the squash between four plates and top with the lentil bolognese sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
