Mike's Spaghetti Squash & Marinara Sauce
You can add (2) 12 oz cans of crushed or diced tomatoes with Basil to make this dish more, "homemade or authentic," if you will. However, we must admit, it's pretty darn good with the Hunts Spaghetti Sauces!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add everything in Spaghetti & Sauce section [except for the squash & parmesan cheese] and place in a large pot. Simmer for 1 - 1-1/2 hours.
- 2
Chef's Note: Add the 1/4 tsp Baking Soda to bubbling sauce if your Marinara has a heavy acidic taste from the tomatoes. Don't be alarmed if your sauce foams up a bit from the Baking Soda and slightly fades in color. It will boil down and out quickly Ave return to normal. Add an additional 1/4 teaspoon if you feel your sauce still needs it.
- 3
Heat oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with tinfoil.
- 4
Cut each Spaghetti Squash evenly in half.
- 5
Clean out all seeds with a large spoon.
- 6
Spray each inside with butter spay Pam or regular Pam and sprinkle with Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Italian Seasoning and Black Pepper. Spray again to hold the seasonings on the squash.
- 7
Place each facedown on tinfoil and place in oven for 45-60 minutes depending upon the size of your squashes. Bake until you can easily glide a knife through the squash.
- 8
Once fully baked, add a tablesppon of butter or olive oil and gently fork the insides out. Dig deep into the flesh WITHOUT tearing the outer shell. Repeat for each shell.
- 9
Once all Spaghetti Squash is fully pulled from the sides and the butter is mixed in, add some of your Marinara Sauce [no solids, just juices] to your strands and mix in as well.
- 10
There are two ways to serve these. One, in the shell and the other, on a plate without the shell. If you decide to serve in the shell, gently and carefully shave off the ends of your squash that cannot stand up on their own once fully baked.
- 11
Either way, ladle your sauce atop your Spaghetti Squash and serve immediately with Garlic Bread.
- 12
Garnish with Parmesan Cheese and Fresh or Dried Parsley.

Enjoy!
