Step 1

Preheat the oven Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Prepare the spaghetti squash Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the inside with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash halves cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Roast the squash Roast the squash for 35-45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and can easily be shredded with a fork. Once done, let the squash cool slightly, then use a fork to scrape the flesh into long, spaghetti-like strands.

Step 4

Prepare the marinara sauce While the squash is roasting, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using), and sauté for another minute.

Step 5

Simmer the sauce Add the marinara sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Combine and serve Once the squash is ready, divide the squash strands between serving plates and top with the marinara sauce. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
