Spaghetti Squash with Marinara and Parmesan Cheese
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
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 black pepper.
- Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Use a fork to scrape the flesh of the spaghetti squash into strands. Divide the squash strands among 4 plates or bowls.
- Top each serving of spaghetti squash with the marinara sauce, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese, and garnish with chopped fresh basil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
