How to make an easy Spaghetti Squash

Servings 2 -4
Author Marina J (Mommy Snippets)

Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 1 can Hunt's tomato sauce
  • 1 can Hunt's diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning blend
  • 6-10 fresh basil leaves chopped
  • Shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. To make your sauce, combine tomato sauce, tomatoes, garlic, pepper, seasoning, and half of your basil leaves. Using an immersion blender, puree everything.
  2. Cook in a small saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes, and then set aside.
  3. Poke holes all around your spaghetti squash with a fork, and microwave for 2 minutes to soften up.
  4. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Fill up the basin of a dish big enough for it to fit in, and place it cut side down in the water. Microwave for another 5-6 minutes.
  5. Once finished cooking, take your squash out, and using a fork, begin scraping the insides out - this will come out in “noodles”.
  6. Once fully scraped, combine with enough sauce to your liking, and mix thoroughly.
  7. Serve in your hollowed out squash, or a bowl, and top with cheese, pepper, and more fresh basil leaves.
