Cozy Spaghetti Squash Bake
Preheat oven to 400 F. Cut spaghetti squash in half, sprinkle with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and olive oil; then roast on a sheet pan, cut sides up, for 50-60 minutes, until the edges of the squash turn brown.1Remove squash from the oven, and when it cools down a bit, use a fork to pull the “spaghetti” away from the skin. Toss in a bowl with store-bought marinara sauce, add pieces of fresh mozzarella to the mixture, then spoon into individual ramekins or a large baking dish. Top each ramekin or the baking dish with more fresh mozzarella. Return to the oven for 10-12 minutes, until squash and sauce are bubbling and mozzarella is beginning to brown. You can sprinkle some grated parmesan over the top and return to the oven for a minute or two, for extra crispy cheesiness!
