Ingredients
Uncooked spaghetti squash
1 large
Olive oil
1 tsp
Uncooked onion(s)
1 small
Garlic
1 tsp
Canned stewed tomatoes
14.5 oz
Italian seasoning
1 tsp
Grated Parmesan cheese
0.25 cup(s)
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2
Halve squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Place squash, cut sides down, in a large baking dish and prick skin all over with a fork. Bake until tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and Italian seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring often, 5 minutes or until desired consistency.
4
To serve, carefully rake the stringy squash pulp from the skin with a fork, separating it into strands that look like spaghetti. Spoon sauce over squash and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Yields about 1 1/2 cups of squash, 1/4 cup of sauce and 1 tablespoon of cheese per serving.
