Directions
- Preheat oven to 400º and line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
- Chop spaghetti squash in half vertically, from end to end.
- Place spaghetti squash halves on baking sheet and drizzle with oil – about 1 tablespoon each. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and italian blend.
- Place squash cut sides down on the baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake 35 minutes.
- Remove squash from the oven, flip the halves over, and allow to cool. Seriously. Allow to cool.
- Use a fork to scrape out the “spaghetti” from each half. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or pot, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over low. Add tomatoes and saute for 10 minutes, until they soften and start to burst.
- Add garlic and saute 3 minutes. Then add spinach and spaghetti squash. Toss to combine. Continue cooking for 6-8 minutes, until spinach is wilted.
- Scoop the mixture back into the hollowed squash halves and top with cheese.
- Return to oven and bake 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted. Remove from oven.
- Eat directly from the squash halves or plate it up! Garnish with fresh basil and parmesan, if desired.
