Directions for Spaghetti Squash with Homemade Marinara Sauce

1. Poke holes in spaghetti squash with a cutting knife (just past the tip of the blade).  Try to cover most of its surface area.
2. Place Squash into a microwavable dish.  Cook for 12-15 minutes (or five minutes per pound) in microwave.  Stop halfway through total time to rotate and continue microwaving.
3. Wait 5-10 minutes for squash to cool.  Remove seeds with a spoon.
4. Scrape spaghetti strands into a colander and sift to drain excess water.  Set aside
5. Empty tomatoes into large bowl and break them down into small pieces with your hands.  Be sure to wash your hands after :).
6. Silver garlic while simultaneously heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
7. Add garlic to skillet once oil is hot.  Cook until garlic sizzles.  Don’t let them brown!
8. Add tomato sauce, red pepper flakes, and dried oregano.
9. Add Spaghetti Squash and toss with Parmesan.
10. Serve with additional grated Parmesan, if desired
