Spaghetti Squash with Pomodoro Sauce

Italian food with added veggie value.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

1 spaghetti squash (about 1 1/2 lb)
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tsp olive oil
1 can (28 oz) diced plum tomatoes
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Fresh basil
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Halve squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray; lay halves, flesh side down, on sheet. Bake 35 minutes or until you can easily pierce shell. While squash bakes, sauté garlic and onion in oil over medium heat 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except fresh basil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Lower heat if sauce begins to boil. Remove squash from oven. Scrape crosswise to pull strands from shell. Place in nonmetal serving bowl. Pour sauce over squash and garnish with basil.

  • Made this last night. A good side dish. Will probably make it again. Amped up the sauce a little with some red wine and butter. Next time may add a bayleaf, and also use olive oil, salt, and pepper on the squash before baking it.

  • Made this last night and it was amazing. I added a splash of sherry to the sauce and finished it with a splash of heavy cream. Also added large shrimp to the sauce...will make this over and over again...

  • My sweetheart, who DOES NOT like squash, thought it was VERY GOOD and that I'd better not change anything the next time I make it. We both agreed -- definitely a four-fork meal.

  • Yum! My bf is a vegetarian so this is a great sub for always eating pasta and carb heavy food. I tripled the amount of garlic and added some meatballs in there for me! Will definitely make again :)

  • second time making it. per others' suggestions, i added a dash of sugar. also, significantly increased the onion and garlic added. going to cook up some organic chicken sausage to throw in for added protein.

  • This recipe changed my mind about spaghetti squash. The sauce is very nice, smooth. The red pepper is great.

  • I cannot tell you how good it smells in here right now! I followed the recipe for the sauce, except instead of vinegar, I de-glazed my pan with red wine...I also added artichoke hearts and chick peas to give the dish more heft.

  • I am new to Spaghetti Squash, previously microwaved it, roasting it is a major improvement. Sauce was good, added parm. Really good for such a simple dish. The other reviewers suggested additions (thank!), will try it again with some of these suggestions.

  • This was a fantastic Meatless Monday meal. I was surprised that no sugar was called for in the sauce recipe, but unlike others have noted, I did not find the sauce too acidic. I did make sure to add the tomato paste after the onions and garlic were softened, before adding all the other ingredients. I cooked the tomato paste for about two minutes before continuing on, this cuts the rawness (Cook's Illustrated trick). I would like to add an additional half star for how quick this recipe is! Sprinkle with parmesan, add some garlic bread, delicious quick and healthy weeknight meal!

  • I've made a lot of red sauces in my time, and this one was way too acidic for my taste. I even added some sugar at the end to cut the acid. It tasted like tomatoes straight from the can even though I simmered it 1 1/2 hours. My husband had the same response as me.

  • Delicious, crowd pleaser. Made as directed but added sautéed chicken and Parmesan cheese. I had never made spaghetti squash before, surprisingly easy! I added a dash of sugar to neutralize the vinegar.
