This is a simple, easy-to-make dish which is fully satisfying, and perfect for people who wish to avoid pasta products.

Spaghetti Squash with Marinara Sauce
Green: recipe contains only neutral or a beneficials ingredients for that type.
Yellow: recipe contains an secondary avoid ingredient that may be substituted by a more permissable one.
Orange: contains an avoid in a primary ingredient.



Ingredient list:
  • 1 large spaghetti squash (or a couple of smaller ones)
  • 4 cups prepared (jarred) marinara sauce
  • 2-3 fresh tomatoes, peeled
  • 1-2 small zucchinis, or as many as you want
  • 1 small onion, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 bell pepper, any color (red is the best, however)
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic
  • Mushrooms, baby Portobello or Domestic white 'button' varieties
  • Fresh thyme, about a tablespoon or more
  • Himalayan salt (well, that's what I use)
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Black pepper
    Note:
    With all vegetables and jarred products, try to use organic ingredients if you can


How to make it:
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Split the squashes in half and scrape out seeds.
  • Line an oven tray with aluminum foil.
  • Season the spaghetti squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Place flesh side down and roast for 30 to 40 minutes until fully cooked.
  • While the squash is baking, peel the tomatoes by cutting the skin lightly with a sharp knife, placing them in boiling water for 30-45 seconds, and then immersing them in cold water. The skin will pull right off after that.
  • Sauté the zucchinis, onions, peppers and mushrooms in a saucepan, using a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • After those have become soft, add the peeled tomatoes, garlic and fresh thyme, and any other herbs you wish to add.
  • Remove the squash from the oven and let rest until cool enough to handle.
  • When the squash is cool enough to handle, using a large kitchen spoon, scrape the strands of squash from the inside of the skin.
  • Toss the spaghetti squash into the pan with the hot marinara sauce for just long enough to get hot.
  • Serve, and enjoy!
