How to Make Wild Caught Sea Scallops With Spaghetti Squash

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender and easily shredded.
While squash roasts, prepare the tomato basil sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Pat 1 pound sea scallops dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Sear scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, gently shred the flesh with a fork.
Spoon the roasted spaghetti squash onto plates, top with sea scallops, and drizzle generously with the tomato basil sauce. Garnish with extra fresh basil, if desired.
