1 large spaghetti squash
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 can of diced tomatoes
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
1 teaspoon of dried basil
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Cut your spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place it cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, and cook until fragrant and the onions are slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the tomatoes and seasonings, stirring to combine. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
5. When the spaghetti squash is finished baking, remove from the oven and flip over so the cut side is up. Scrape out the flesh of the squash with a fork and add it to the tomato sauce mixture in the skillet. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 more minutes.
6. Serve warm with freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
