Categories     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ yellow onion, diced
1 cup cherry tomato, halved
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
8 oz mini mozzarella ball
fresh basil, to garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
  • With a sharp knife, slice the squash in half. If the squash is too tough, puncture in several places forming a dotted line around the squash. Microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften. Allow to cool before cutting in half.
  • Scoop out the seeds, brush with oil, and sprinkle with salt, and pepper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the skin.
  • In a pan over medium heat, add the oil, garlic, and onions, and sautè until onions are translucent.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, salt, and pepper and simmer until they are cooked and begin to become softened.
  • Remove squash from the oven, with a fork pull at the edges to produce that stringy "spaghetti" quality. Add the squash to the tomato mixture and mix in the pan.
  • Add mixture back to the hollowed out spaghetti squash halves. Top with mini mozzarella balls ans basil.
  • Bake an additional 5-10 minutes, or until cheese melts.
  • Serve in the squash, and top with basil.
  • Enjoy!

Amazing recipe! I used a large spaghetti squash and it was the perfect amount for my family of four. Everyone loved it, even my picky eater who doesn't like vegetables.

This was a great recipe! Easy to follow and the squash was a nice change from regular spaghetti. I added some grilled chicken and it was a complete meal. Definitely a keeper!
