Spaghetti Squash with Tomato Zucchini Sauce

If you've never tried spaghetti squash, I highly recommend it. Its a great alternative to pasta. With a great sauce, you'll hardly notice the difference!

1 spaghetti squash
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups diced tomatoes
1/2 cup pasta sauce
2 small zucchini, sliced
1 tsp basil
salt & pepper to taste
parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut spaghetti squash in quarters and remove seeds. Place cut side down in pan. Add some water to the pan. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for awhile. Then, using a fork scrape the inside of the squash to remove the "spaghetti". See picture below.

While spaghetti squash is baking heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute until onion is soft and translucent. Add tomatoes, pasta sauce, zucchini, basil and salt & pepper. Cook for 5-10 minutes, then let simmer for another 5-10 minutes.

Serve sauce over the "spaghetti" and top with parmesan cheese. Feel free to adjust the amounts for the sauce. I didn't measure when I made it and am guessing at the amounts now. ;-) Enjoy!
