  • 1 Spaghetti Squash
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup parmasean cheese grated
  • 3-4 basil leaves chopped
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • First cook the spaghetti squash. Preheat the oven at 375. Next poke a couple of holes in the squash. Place in the oven for an hour. Let it cool and cut in half, de-seed, and using a fork scrape to form spaghetti like strands.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. (turn oven on while you prep your ingredients so by the time you are done the oven is hot enough)
  • Next add the salt, pepper and garlic powder to each squash and mix with squash strands. 
  • Now add 1/4 cup of tomato sauce (you can eye ball this) to one half of the squash and a 1/4 cup to the other half and mix to incorporate all through out. 
  • Add another 1/4 cup of tomato sauce to each half of squash. This time just spread on top of the squash.
  • Finally add a big handful of mozzarella cheese to the top of each half. Also add a couple of swirls of oil to help the browning. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes till the top browns.
  • Right out of the oven (while its still hot) add the Parmesan and basil on top of mozzarella cheese. Happy eating!
