I know, I know, you put cheese on anything and it's going to be tasty, right? Here is our fun way to enjoy this special vegetable!
So we don't have a whole lot of time for meal prep here on the farm. We try to put up some plates on the weekend so we have a re-heatable decent meal on our heavy work days but this dish is pretty simple to prepare for lunch or supper. We hope you love it!
1. Cut Spaghetti Squash in half, scoop out seeds. (Great place for these to end up is your bird feeder!)
2. Place Squash halves face-down on a lined baking sheet (foil or a Silpat works great).
3. Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
4. While Squash is baking prepare Tomato Sauce:
Wash, trim and chop 4-5 Roma Tomatoes, one Bell Pepper, 1-2 crushed Garlic cloves and 2-3T fresh chopped Oregano leaves. Saute all with 2T Olive Oil, season with salt and pepper, we also like some Fennel Seed in there. If you're a meat eater you can add 1/2 pound browned Sausage or Ground Beef, etc.Add a dash or two or Red Wine and simmer for 20 minutes.
5. Fluff up the baked Spaghetti Squash with a fork, do not remove from the Squash shell:
6. Spoon the Tomato Sauce into both Squash halves, bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
7. Just before serving top with grated Cheese (we sent Gouda for the package but the Fennel and Ale Cheddar was great, too!). Cut each half in half for four servings.
