How to Make Sardines And Tomatoes Over Spaghetti Squash

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut a spaghetti squash in half lengthwise.
  3. Scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp.
  4. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until tender.
  5. While the squash bakes, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (15-ounce) can of diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 4 ounces sardines (packed in olive oil, drained), 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, gently breaking the sardines into smaller pieces with a spoon.
  7. Once the squash is tender, carefully remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  8. Using a fork, scrape the spaghetti squash strands onto a plate or platter.
  9. Pour the sardine and tomato sauce over the squash.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil (optional) and enjoy immediately!
