Spaghetti Squash with Marinara
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir in the dried oregano and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the marinara sauce for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands. Divide the squash strands among serving plates and top with the marinara sauce. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy your healthy and delicious spaghetti squash with marinara!
