Baked spaghetti squash is a healthy and flavorful alternative to traditional pasta. Here's a tasty recipe for baked spaghetti squash:
– 1 medium-sized spaghetti squash – 2 tablespoons olive oil – Salt and pepper, to taste – 1 cup marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)
Preheat the Oven: – Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Spaghetti Squash: – Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy parts with a spoon. – Brush the cut sides of the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Bake the Squash: – Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet. – Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes or until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Scrape the Squash: – Allow the squash to cool slightly, then use a fork to scrape the flesh to create "spaghetti" strands. Place the strands in a mixing bowl.
Combine with Sauce: – In the bowl with the spaghetti squash strands, add the marinara sauce and mix well to coat the squash evenly.
