Spaghetti Squash with Marinara Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 large spaghetti squash
• 2 cups marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Grated parmesan cheese (optional)

How to Prepare:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Brush with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes.
2. In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add marinara sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Scrape the flesh of the baked squash with a fork to create spaghetti-like strands. Place in a serving bowl.
4. Pour marinara sauce over the spaghetti squash and toss to combine. Garnish with fresh basil and parmesan cheese if desired.
