Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash about 2.5 pounds – makes about 3.5 cups
  • 1 cup marinara sauce your favorite type

Instructions

  • If using microwave (I suggest this method if you are feeling lazy/starving), cut spaghetti squash in half. Add a little bit of water to a large plate, and place the spaghetti squash halves face-down in the water (it’s ok if they don’t fit flush against the plate – it will still work!). Microwave for 10-15 minutes, or until inside is soft.
  • If using the oven, preheat to 400F and line a cake pan with aluminum foil. Pierce spaghetti squash all over with a knife and bake for an hour.
  • Let cool, and scoop out the seeds.
  • Use a fork to loosen the spaghetti strands. Scrape the inside of the shell to loosen strands and transfer to a dish or bowl. Add heated marinara and serve. Top with some fresh grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast flakes and enjoy.
