Print Recipe
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 spaghetti squash seeds and pulp removed
  • 3 cups tomato sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped eggplant
  • 1/2 cup sliced portabella mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded part-skim Mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Roast spaghetti squash. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place spaghetti squash on a lightly oiled baking sheet, cut side down; bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, prepare marinara sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine next 6 ingredients (tomato sauce through black pepper), stirring well until heated through; set aside and keep warm.
  • Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat; add sun-dried tomatoes, bell pepper, eggplant, mushrooms and onion; sauté until almost tender; add to marinara sauce and toss well to coat.
  • When spaghetti squash is cooked and has cooled slightly, scrape the squash out of its shell with a fork in long, thin (spaghetti-like) strands and arrange on dinner plates; top with vegetables and marinara sauce then garnish with Mozzarella.
