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. Remove the seeds from the center.
4. Place on parchment paper and LIGHTLY spray with oil (avocado oil has a neutral flavor and can take high heat).
5. 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.
