Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup basil leaves
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
-
Drizzle the inside of each half with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the squash halves on a baking sheet, cut side down.
-
Roast the spaghetti squash in the oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily scraped with a fork.
-
Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Process until well combined and a pesto-like consistency is formed.
-
Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes. Then, using a fork, scrape the flesh to create spaghetti-like strands.
-
In a large bowl, toss the spaghetti squash with the prepared pesto sauce until well coated.
-
Serve the Pesto Spaghetti Squash hot and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
