How to Prepare Spaghetti Squash Pasta [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

For the Spaghetti Squash:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

For the Tomato Sauce:

  1. While the squash is cooking, heat a medium saucepan with olive oil. Add the onions and cook until translucent.
  2. Add the garlic, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cook for another minute or two until lightly golden.
  3. Add 1/2 of the chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-5 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down into a sauce.
  4.  Add the rest of the tomatoes, herbs and spices and continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes on a low simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. When ready to eat, pour the mixture over the hot squash pasta and serve with fresh basil on top.
