Caprese Baked Spaghetti Squash
Report
Delicious garlic butter baked spaghetti squash tossed with caprese salad - diced tomatoes, chopped basil, herbs, and mozzarella balls.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 cup Campari tomatoes diced
- 1 cup small mozzarella balls
- ¼ cup chopped basil
- 1 sprig rosemary chopped
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- 1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons Italian herbs seasoning divided
- 1 tablespoon celtic or kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and any stringy bits from the center.
- Place the two halves of the squash, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in each half. Season the squash with 1 teaspoon of garlic salt and 1/2 teaspoon of Italian herbs.
- In a small bowl, add 3 tablespoons olive oil, chopped basil, red pepper flakes, salt, diced tomatoes, chopped rosemary and mix. Let marinate as squash bakes.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the squash is tender. The flesh should easily separate into spaghetti-like strands with a fork - simply pull on squash, using fork like a rake, to shred squash into "spaghetti".
- After the squash has baked and you've pulled "spaghetti" strands, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and add spaghetti squash when shimmery. Toss them in the skillet to coat them with the oil. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the squash is heated through and has absorbed the flavors.
- Add caprese salad to baked spaghetti squash and toss. Mix well.
- Plate the sautéed spaghetti squash. I like to serve spaghetti squash back in the hollowed-out shell for a fun presentation.
- Your delicious and buttery spaghetti squash is ready to be enjoyed as a flavorful and low-carb side dish or even as a light main course!
