Here’s a twice-baked spaghetti squash recipe that’s like a spaghetti squash casserole. I keep the recipe super simple with sliced onion, garlic and sundried tomatoes. Thinly slicing the ingredients helps the dish bake well together with the spaghetti squash. I also add jalapenos for heat, but that’s very optional. Even the cheese topping is optional if you want a dairy free recipe, but the cheese definitely adds more body to the dish.
What you need for this Squash Recipe
½ Lg SPAGHETTI SQUASH
1 med ONION sliced
¼ cup SUNDRIED TOMATO sliced
3-5 cloves GARLIC sliced
1 Tbsp JALAPENO PEPPER sliced
¼ cup PARMESAN CHEESE shredded
2 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
SALT to taste
2 tsp PAPRIKA
It’s easy to double up on this squash recipe, but only using half a large squash makes plenty for two people, and leaves half to use in a completely different dish. When buying a spaghetti squash, choose one that is blemish free, firm to the touch, and feels heavy for its size.
How to Bake a Spaghetti Squash
- Slice the squash through the middle, separating both ends, then take a spoon and dig out the seeds.
- Place the squash halves cut side down in a baking pan in ¼” water.
- Bake for 30 minutes on the center rack in an oven preheated to 350˚F.
- Carefully remove the squash from the pan and allow to cool until easy to handle.
- Use a fork and separate the inner squash from the rind. The squash will come out in spaghetti-like strands. You can use this baked squash in all kinds of recipes.
Twice Baked Spaghetti Squash Recipe
- Thinly slice the onion, garlic, sundried tomato, and peppers.
- In a large bowl, combine the baked squash and sliced veggies.
- Add olive oil and toss well. Check current Olive Oil prices on Amazon.
- Add seasoning and toss. Use whatever seasonings you like, but for this recipe I prefer only salt and paprika. The tomato and garlic adds a lot of natural flavor.
- Spread everything evenly in an ungreased 8X8 inch baking dish and bake uncovered at 350˚F for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, top the dish with shredded cheese and bake for 10 minutes more.
- And that’s it! Garnish with chopped herbs if desired.
