Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Using a large knife or a cleaver, slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise down the middle.
- Use a spoon to remove the seeds and center strings.
- Place the squash, open side down on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes. It is done when you can stick a fork easily into it.
- Optional - You can cook the entire spaghetti squash for an hour and then cut it in half and scoop out the seed and center strings.
- Leave the squash in the skin and scrape and fluff each half with a fork to create the stringy squash.
- Drizzle the two halves with coconut oil (or olive oil) and then sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Turn the oven on broil.
- Add the tomatoes and fresh basil into the squash.
- Stir and top with the mozzarella cheese.
- Place in the broiler for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving the squash.
