Spaghetti Squash With Tomato Basil Sauce Recipes

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH TOMATO, BASIL AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut spaghetti squash in half and scoop out seeds. Brush with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and place down on parchment paper on a baking pan. Put in oven for 35-40 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. When oil is hot, add garlic and stir for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. You don't want the garlic to brown too much. After 1 minute add tomatoes and basil and add pinch of sugar. Stir for about 2 minutes.
• Carefully remove spaghetti squash from oven and scrape with fork to create the "spaghetti". Add mixture to top and enjoy.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH TOMATO BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place spaghetti squash halves, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the squash is tender when pierced with a knife, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and continue cooking until golden, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and their juices. Increase heat to medium-high. Add vermouth (or wine) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in pepper and salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover.
• When the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape the flesh from the shell; add it to the tomato sauce. Stir in basil.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH TOMATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Drizzle 2 teaspoons extra-virgin in each of the squash halves and sprinkle with salt. Place them flesh-side down on a baking sheet. Roast until you can fluff the squash easily with a fork, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Flip the squash halves and fluff the "spaghetti" strands with a fork, then season with salt. Pour 2/3 cup sauce over each of the squash halves, and top each with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly, another 25 minutes. (You can flip the oven to the broiler at the last minute for extra cheese browning!)
• Garnish with basil and serve.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH SPAGHETTI WITH MEAT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Poke 8 to 10 holes in the spaghetti squash; place whole in a baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until squash is easily pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes. Remove and let cool until easily handled.
• Cut squash in half; remove seeds and ribs. Place squash halves facedown in a baking dish with a little bit of water and cover with foil. Bake until you can pull the sides away easily with a fork, about 25 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Set beef aside.
• Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-low heat. Add olive oil, yellow squash, zucchini, bell pepper, onion, Italian seasoning, basil, black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Pour in tomato sauce and simmer until heated through, adding the beef halfway through, about 10 minutes more.
• Turn spaghetti squash face-up; shred the sides from the center out with a fork. Scoop "spaghetti" from squash onto serving plates. Flatten and top with the sauce.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH FRESH TOMATOES AND RICOTTA

Steps:

• Stir together the tomatoes, shallot, vinegar, chile flakes, garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon basil and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside to marinate, stirring the tomatoes every 10 minutes, while you prepare the spaghetti squash.
• Carefully slice off the top and bottom of the squash, trimming just enough so that the inner flesh of the squash is exposed. Use a sharp paring knife to poke ten to twelve 1/2-inch-deep slits all over the squash. Put the squash in to a medium glass heatproof bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Carefully flip the squash over and microwave on high until a fork easily pierces through the flesh that is exposed on the squash, about 5 additional minutes.
• Allow the squash to cool enough so that you can handle it, then split it in half length-wise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and discard them. Then use a fork to loosen the squash strands and transfer them to a medium bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Use your hands to gently work the oil and salt into the squash. Transfer the squash to a serving platter and pour the tomato mixture over the top (along with all of its juices). Top with spoonfuls of the ricotta and garnish with the remaining basil. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Blanch the tomatoes and remove the skins. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut the tomatoes crosswise. Set aside in a bowl.
• Heat 3 ounces olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it smokes slightly. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Since the tomatoes will reduce and the salt will be concentrated, it is better to season initially with a lighter hand.
• Chop the tomatoes with a potato masher until they are in fine chunks and all their liquid is released. Be sure they are chopped and crushed fine, for a semichunky sauce. Simmer for 25 minutes over medium heat.
• While the sauce simmers, heat the water for the pasta. Cook the spaghetti in salted water about half of the way cooked. Drain, reserving some of the water.
• Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add the pasta to the sauce and cook over medium-high heat until all the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is al dente. If the sauce is over-reduced, use the pasta cooking liquid to adjust it.
• At the last moment, remove the pan from the heat; add the extra-virgin olive oil, butter, basil and cheese. Mix thoroughly until the pasta is an orangy color. Taste again and adjust the salt if necessary. Remove to a platter. Serve.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Place spaghetti squash with cut sides down on the prepared baking sheet, and bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a sharp knife can be inserted with only a little resistance. Remove squash from oven and set aside to cool enough to be easily handled.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until tomatoes are warmed through.
• Use a large spoon to scoop the stringy pulp from the squash and place in a medium bowl. Toss with the vegetables, feta cheese, olives, and basil. Serve warm.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH MEAT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Slice squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Place squash, cut side down, in a baking dish. Add water and cover tightly with foil. Bake until easily pierced with a fork, 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Add onion, green pepper, herbs and seasonings; cook and stir until onion is tender, 5-7 minutes. Stir in tomato puree. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally. Scoop out squash, separating the strands with a fork. Just before serving; stir 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese into meat sauce. Serve sauce over spaghetti squash with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH TOMATOES, BASIL, AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• In a glass baking dish arrange the squash half, cut side down, pour 1/4 cup water around it, and cover the dish tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Microwave the squash at high power (100%) for 12 minutes, or until it is soft when pressed, and let it stand, covered, for 3 minutes. In a large bowl whisk together the oil, 1/4 cup of the basil, the oregano, and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, stir in the tomatoes, and season the mixture with salt and pepper. While the squash is still warm scrape it with a fork to form strands, add the strands to the tomato mixture, and toss the mixture until it is combined. Divide the mixture between 2 bowls, sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan over it, and garnish it with the additional basil.
