Best Spaghetti Squash Recipe Ever

My wife Kirin made THE best spaghetti squash recipe ever – uses all ingredients from the “unlimited” food list from the Adrenal Reset Diet.

Ingredients:

• 1 spaghetti squash
• 1/2 an onion – diced
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 bunch fresh basil
• 2 packages cherry or grape tomatoes
• Optional: handful of spinach

Spaghetti Squash Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 360.
2. Cut spaghetti squash in half or in thirds.
3. Place on parchment paper and LIGHTLY spray with oil (avocado oil has a neutral flavor and can take high heat).
4. Bake for 1 hour. You can turn once at the 40-minute mark.

Sauce Instructions:

*You may want to double this if you like more sauce*

1. On medium-high heat, saute onions until they are transparent….about 3 minutes (stir frequently).
2. Add garlic.
3. Add 1/2 of a portion of finely chopped basil now – and add the other half at the end (I probably had 3/4 cup un-chopped basil leaves).
4. Add 2 packages of cherry/grape tomatoes (slice in quarters first).
5. Reduce to a simmer – and stir occasionally for 1 hour. This takes the acid out of the tomatoes and makes it naturally sweet so you don’t have to add sugar.
6. You can also throw some spinach in the last 3 minutes of cooking for additional veggies.

Make several batches so you can easily reheat and eat.
