How to Make Spaghetti Squash With Tomatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve a medium spaghetti squash lengthwise, scoop out seeds, and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  2. While the squash bakes, finely chop 1/2 medium onion, 1/2 green bell pepper, and 2 cloves garlic.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and saute for 5-7 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and saute for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon dried basil. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Once the squash is tender, use a fork to shred the flesh, leaving it inside the shell.
  6. Toss the shredded squash with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  7. Spoon the tomato mixture over the shredded squash, and top with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
