Spaghetti Squash with Tomato-Basil Sauce



Ingredients



  • (3-pound) spaghetti squash
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 
  • garlic cloves, minced
  • (14.5-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes 
  • (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes 
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, divided
  • 6 tablespoons shredded pecorino Romano cheese

Preparation

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. 2. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds; discard. Place squash halves, cut sides down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until tender.
  3. 3. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add tomatoes; bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in 1/3 cup basil.
  4. 4. Cool squash at room temperature for 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Scrape inside of squash with a fork to remove spaghetti-like strands to measure about 5 cups. Divide squash evenly among 6 plates; top each serving with about 1/3 cup sauce and 1 tablespoon cheese. Top with remaining basil.
