Today’s Recipe: Parmesan Spaghetti Squash Bake
Parmesan Spaghetti Squash Bake RecipeIngredients:
- Spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
- Homemade tomato sauce (or your choice of sauce)
- Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- Dried basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Halve the spaghetti squash and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake the Squash:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork. The baking time may vary depending on the size of the squash.
- Shred the Squash:
- Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly. Using a fork, shred the inside to create spaghetti-like strands, leaving the shell intact.
- Season:
- Season the shredded squash with salt and pepper. Add dried basil, oregano, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- Add Sauce and Cheese:
- Fill the squash halves with your homemade tomato sauce, covering the shredded squash thoroughly.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella over the sauce.
- Final Bake:
- Return the squash to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once baked, sprinkle finely grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like basil or oregano before serving.
- This dish can be served as a main course or a side dish. For a complete meal, add grilled chicken or fish for additional protein.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or microwave when ready to serve.
