To make this dish, you will need one spaghetti squash, one can of crushed tomatoes, two cloves of garlic, one tablespoon of olive oil, one teaspoon of dried basil, one teaspoon of dried oregano, salt, and pepper. This recipe serves four people.
To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Brush the inside of the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
While the squash is baking, prepare the marinara sauce. In a saucepan, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for one minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Once the squash is done baking, use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands. Divide the squash into four bowls and top with the marinara sauce. Garnish with fresh basil or Parmesan cheese, if desired.
