Ingrédients

1 medium spaghetti squash

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 cups heirloom tomatoes, chopped

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 cup vegetable stock

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Brush the inside of the squash with one tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with half a teaspoon of salt and pepper.
Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes, until the flesh is easily pierced with a fork.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute before stirring in the heirloom tomatoes, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and remaining salt and pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, add the tomato paste and vegetable stock, and simmer for about 20 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and chopped basil, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Once the squash is roasted, use a fork to scrape out the spaghetti-like strands into a bowl.
Serve the spaghetti squash topped with the homemade marinara sauce and garnish with extra basil if desired.
