GF Baked Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti

GF Baked Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti

Ingredients:

-2 spaghetti squashes 

-spaghetti sauce (check out how to make Homemade Tomato Sauce here)

-mozzarella or Italian cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. Using a knife, cut your spaghetti squash in half, length wise.

3. Spoon out the loose insides and seeds.

4. Spread olive oil all over and season with salt and pepper.

5. Place INSIDE DOWN on baking sheet (I use parchment paper because it's easier clean up).

6. Bake for 20-30 minutes. *

7. Remove from oven.  Using a fork, scrape the inside of the spaghetti squash into a 13x8 (for larger or multiple spaghetti squash) and an 8x8 (for smaller spaghetti squash).  

8. Mix with GF spaghetti sauce and top with mozzarella and/or Italian cheese.

9.  Bake another 10-15 minutes to melt cheese.  

10.  ENJOY!

* Bake time depends on the size of the spaghetti squash.  If I have a small squash I start and 20 minutes and check.  To check, I squeeze the outside like you would check a potato.

If it squeezes at all, it's done.  For larger spaghetti squash, I bake for 30 minutes then check.  An overcooked spaghetti squash is more soggy.  We prefer it on the crunchier side.
