Ingredients
The Tomatoes:
- 10 Del Campo t'mates 11.5 ounces., cut into ¼-inch slices
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
The Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon agave nectar or honey
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
The Spaghetti Squash:
- 1 3 pound spaghetti squash
- 2 ounces fresh mozzarella diced
- 5 fresh basil leaves thinly sliced
Instructions
The Tomatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Place the tomatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the tomatoes with the olive oil, and sprinkle them with garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.
- Roast until the tomatoes are slightly shriveled and soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Roughly chop the tomatoes and set aside.
The Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, agave (or honey) and salt.
The Spaghetti Squash:
- Using a large, sharp knife, pierce a spaghetti squash in several places.
- Place the spaghetti squash in a glass baking dish and cook in the microwave on high for about 15 minutes, turning the squash halfway through cooking.
- Before handling, let the squash stand for 10 minutes. Cut it in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and fibers. Using a fork, twist out strands of the spaghetti squash flesh and place in a large bowl. Let stand at room temperature.
- Add the roasted tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and dressing to spaghetti squash. Toss gently to combine. Serve.
