- 1 24 ounce jar Marinara Sauce
- 8 oz Mozarella Cheese shredded (2 cups)
- 4 teaspoons Olive Oil divided
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Brush 2 teaspoons of olive oil on the inside of the squash.
- Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 40 minutes or until the skin can easily be pierced with a fork.
- While the squash is roasting, saute the onion and green pepper with 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until tender.
- Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add in the marinara sauce, oregano, and black pepper. Simmer over low heat until ready for use.
- Remove the squash from the oven, turn them over, and let cool 10 minutes or until able to handle.
- Use a fork to scrape the strands of squash from the skin. Place the spaghetti squash in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine the spaghetti squash and marinara sauce. Stir and transfer to a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted. I then like to broil for 2 minutes to brown the top a bit.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil, and/or crushed red pepper. Enjoy!
