Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash (about 2–3 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or basil, finely chopped (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice squash: Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
  3. Season squash: Season the inside of each squash half with 2 tbsp olive oil (1 tbsp each) and then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh garlic.

  5. Prepare spaghetti: Scrape the squash into shreds using a fork to create spaghetti strands.
  6. Finish and serve: Toss the spaghetti squash strands with additional olive oil, garnish with fresh chives, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
