Spaghetti Squash and Marinara
- 1 spaghetti squash
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 large clove minced garlic
- olive oil for the squash and 2 Tbsp for the skillet
- marinara recipe of your choice
- sliced mushrooms
- roughly chopped bell pepper (about 1 medium to large pepper)
- half an onion cut into wedges
- freshly grated parmesan, romano, or asiago cheese
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Wash the outside of the squash, cut the stem off the end then cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Rub the inside with olive oil, season with minced garlic, salt, and pepper and put it, cut side down, in a baking dish and cover with foil.
Bake the squash till it gives a little when you press on it with your finger. The garlic also becomes very fragrant when it is close to being done. The time will vary depending on the size of the squash. Approximately 45 minutes of baking.
Slice mushrooms, onions and peppers.
Once the squash is cool enough to handle, shred the inside with a fork.
Sauté the onions and peppers in olive oil till tender, then add mushrooms.
Once the mushrooms have cooked down a couple of minutes, combine the shredded squash with the rest of the veggies. Then add the Marinara. Stir together and cook till heated through.
Plate and top with cheese.
