  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place spaghetti squash, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until skin can easily be pierced with a fork and spaghetti squash is tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest until cool enough to handle. Scrape out flesh with a fork and discard skins.

  4. Toss baked, hot squash with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese.

Recipe Note

I can't eat much pasta because I have to watch my carb intake, so I have become very creative with spaghetti squash. This is a delicious side dish that pairs well with any sort of roasted meat or steak. You can also make it into a main dish by adding leftover meat or Italian sausage and a little mozzarella or Parmesan cheese. Another delicious choice would be to add sauteed shrimp, steamed broccoli florets, or asparagus.
