Spaghetti Squash with Italian Herbs

Spaghetti squash is also delicious when it is served with a tomato sauce, like the one in the recipe for Shells with Marinara Sauce.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ cup gluten-free, casein-free Parmesan cheese
  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.

  2. Pierce squash with a fork in several places.

  3. Bake 1½ hours (1 hour for a small squash).

  4. Cut in half and remove seeds.

  5. Scrape flesh with the tines of a fork to form spaghetti-type threads.

  6. Heat olive oil over medium flame.

  7. Add minced garlic and herbs. Cook 2 minutes or until garlic is golden, but not brown.

  8. Toss “spaghetti” with oil and herbs. Top with Parmesan cheese if using.
