ingredients for Spaghetti Squash Recipe

Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and pulp.
  • Drizzle the cut sides of the spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet.
  • Roast the spaghetti squash in the preheated oven for about 40-50 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily shreds into strands with a fork. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  • While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
