Low-Carb Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti with Mushroom Marinara image

This is a great low-carb dish for those who choose not to eat regular pasta. The flavor of the squash is very subtle and with the addition of the marinara and fresh cheese, barely detectable. To make it a super quick meal, plan ahead and make the marinara the night before. The flavors are even better this way.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 pinch garlic salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic salt; saute until onion and mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute more. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, and oregano. Cover and simmer until flavors combine, about 45 minutes.
  • Pierce skin of the spaghetti squash in several places. Place in a microwave-safe bowl and cook, turning every few minutes, until tender, about 5 minutes per pound. Drain any liquid that accumulates in the bowl. Let squash cool until easily handled.
  • Cut squash in half. Carefully scoop out seeds with a spoon and discard. Run a fork through the flesh, separating it into strands. Place strands directly in a strainer; excess liquid will continue to drain off.
  • Divide squash among pasta bowls. Top with a generous portion of marinara and Parmesan cheese.

This recipe was a disaster. The spaghetti squash was slimy and the marinara sauce was bland.

The mushroom marinara was too watery. I had to simmer it for an extra 30 minutes to thicken it up.

I had trouble getting the spaghetti squash to cook evenly. Some parts were mushy while others were still hard.

I was skeptical about spaghetti squash, but this recipe changed my mind. The squash was surprisingly tasty and the marinara sauce was so good, I could have eaten it on its own.
